The Ram Mandir is located on the site of the former Babri Masjid, which was built in the 16th century. The mosque was demolished in 1992, leading to communal tensions. In 2019, the Supreme Court of India awarded the disputed land to Hindus for temple construction, while Muslims received land elsewhere for a mosque.
