The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will be India's national temple, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated on Wednesday as he laid the foundation stone of the garba griha (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple with a traditional Hindu ' shila pujan'.
Apart from honouring India's faith, the temple would also be a symbol of India's unity, the CM said.
"The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya will be Bharat's rashtra mandir (India's national temple)," Mr. Adityanath said after he performed the shila pujan at the site of the garba griha of the temple in the presence of members of the trust responsible for managing its construction.
