Nripendra Mishra, the head of the temple construction committee, had previously announced that the ground floor of the three-story Ram Mandir in Ayodhya would be completed by the end of December, with the consecration ceremony set for January 22.

Earlier in the week, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat encouraged people to organize celebratory programs at temples throughout the country to mark this significant occasion.

In 2019, the Supreme Court issued a verdict that paved the way for the construction of the Ram Mandir by a trust at the disputed site in Ayodhya. The Court also directed the Central government to allocate an alternative five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for the construction of a new mosque in a prominent location within the holy town of Uttar Pradesh.

The Court ruled that the 2.77 acres of disputed land, where the demolished 16th-century-era Babri Masjid once stood, would remain under the supervision of a Central government receiver and be handed over to the trust within three months of the ruling for the construction of the temple.
