History of Ram Mandir

The site where Ram Mandir has been built today was acquired by Babur, the founder of mughal empire. He built Babri Masjid at the site of Ram Janmabhoomi in the 16th century. Hindus believed it was the land of Lord Rama. On December 6, 1992, BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) organized a rally, where the mob demolished the Babri Masjid. This triggered the riots among the hindu and muslim community for several months, taking the lives of around 2000 people.

Over the years, several disputes took place, the case was registered at Allahabad High Court, later moved on to supreme court. In 2019, the supreme court passed the judgment and it was decided that the land will be handed over to a trust formed by the government of India to build Ram Mandir. Land was also offered to the muslim community, to build a mosque, 22 km away from the site of Ram Janmabhoomi.
