The court also mandated the search for a different five-acre plot for a mosque in the Hindu holy town. 'Bhoomi pujan' of the temple was conducted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in August 2020. People are traveling to Ayodhya from various states in the lead-up to the ritual with various items like as water, dirt, gold, silver, stones, garments, jewelry, large bells, drums, and scent and fragrance items. To take part in the celebration, a group has begun an incredible 1,400-kilometer bicycle trip from Surat to Ayodhya.
