When Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir on 22 January, the temple town located in the Awadh region of Uttar Pradesh would have seen a complete transformation of its infrastructure. Since Supreme Court delivered the landmark judgement in 2019 which allowed the Hindu trust to build a temple of Lord Ram on the site which is believed to be his birthplace, Ayodhya has seen inflows of investment from both central and state governments and thousands of donors across the country. The case was filed over the existence of Babri Masjid at the location which was demolished in 1992 by a mob.
