The temple was inaugurated on 22 January 2024 by honble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi Ji after a religious ceremony was completed( Pran Pratishta). There was heavy rush to visit the temple on the very first day of the inauguration(Almost half a million people). The temple since then has a footfall of 1 to 1.5 lakh people on a daily basis.
The site of the temple was a disputed land as it was believed to be the location of the Babri Masjid built between 1528 and 1529. In the year 1949 the idols of Rama and Sita were brought to the site. The Babri Masjid was demolished in the year 1992. The matter was sub judice since then. In the year 2019 the Supreme court of India by its verdict decided to give the land to the Hindus for further construction of the temple and the Muslims were given land at a nearby plave called Dhannipur in Ayodhya. The Supreme court verdict was as a result of an evidence from the Archaeological Survey of India who brought to light that there was a a Hindu structure at the site.
