After the introduction of colour TV in 1982, national broadcaster Doordarshan telecast Ramayan, a serial that would capture the imagination of Indians at large. From two seats in 1984, the telecast of the epic mythological tale coinciding with the BJP’s Ram Temple movement helped the party catapult to power in 1996 and the rest is history.

As Ram returns to Ayodhya, look back at his journey. The grand Ram temple is the result of decades-long legal battles. Many predict that the temple will herald a civilisational renaissance for India, ensuring a resurgence of the new Hindu identity.

An economic boon for the region, the Ram temple has contributed to over Rs 1 lakh crore worth of business across India. From temple city to Smart city, the growth of Ayodhya is a multi-sector affair that intertwines faith with development.

The grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya has captured the world's attention for its exceptional architectural choices. Watch how its design blends North Indian and Southern Indian temple styles for a unique masterpiece that doesn't use any steel, cement, or other modern materials!

As devotees immerse themselves in the rhythmic beats and soul-stirring verses, a palpable sense of peace and reverence envelops them. Bhajans invoking devotion for Lord Ram are being rendered by singers from all across the country and abroad.
