"Ram Temple Frenzy: Devotees Splurge on Gold Idols and Jets as India Prepares"

India prepares for the inauguration of a Ram temple in Ayodhya with fervent celebrations and fear, as trucks collect grain donations and popular culture is inundated with references to the event. The festivities, led by Hindu nationalist groups and supported by the Modi government, overshadow the violent history of the movement and the demolition of the Babri Mosque. While some celebrate the occasion, others, particularly Muslims, fear a resurgence of religious tensions and plan to stay home on the day of the inauguration.
