NBC, a very renowned media house in the United States in one of their reports wrote that the Ram Temple is transforming Ayodhya, a city of about 3 million people in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, into a tourist hub that officials hope will be a Hindu version of the Vatican.
All central government offices will be closed on January 22 for the Ram Temple Pran Pratishtha ceremony, as announced by Union Minister Jitendra Singh. Many states, including Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Haryana, have also declared holidays to celebrate the inauguration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
