India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is vying for a rare third term in office, and he appears to be hoping that the inauguration of a highly contested temple in Ayodhya will secure his victory. The temple, which has become a symbol of his party's Hindu nationalist movement, is set to be unveiled on Monday in a grand ceremony presided over by Modi himself.
The city of Ayodhya is buzzing with preparations for the event, with saffron-colored decorations adorning the streets. Thousands of people, including 90-year-old Urmila Chandravanshi, have traveled long distances to witness the inauguration of the Ram Temple. Urmila credits Modi for making this long-awaited temple a reality and expresses her excitement to be there.
