These constitute an important facet of the ongoing efforts for social, economic and political marginalisation of the Indian Muslims, the FO said in a statement. In 2019, the Supreme Court delivered a landmark verdict paving the way for the construction of Ram Mandir.

Ram temple consecration: Ayodhya to be India's biggest tourist hotspot

The grand opening of the Ram temple in Ayodhya may help the town attract at least 50 million tourist a year -- higher than religious tourism hotspots of Golden Temple and Tirupati Temple -- as massive spend on infrastructure such as airports will put the once out-of-the-way town in Uttar Pradesh on the tourism circuit. Brokerage Jefferies in a report estimates that a USD 10 billion makeover of Ayodhya with a new airport, revamped railway station, township and improved road connectivity will likely drive a multiplier effect with new hotels and other economic activities.
