Rama is one of the principal deities of Hinduism and is traditionally considered by Hindus as the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. This temple is located in Ram Janmabhoomi at Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India, and has been re-built to commemorate the birth of Rama at Ayodhya in Nagara style. The exact location of Rama's birthplace in the modern city of Ayodhya is subject to many controversies due to some historical events and is an important subject of political debate in India. Before the temple's inauguration, the deity was referred to by the previous name of Шаблон:Transliteration. As Hindu devotees all over the world are thronging to have Darshan of this deity, the subsequent economic impact has been estimated to enrich the state of Uttar Pradesh by the end of the year 2024 by four trillion Indian rupees (equivalent to 48 billion US dollars). Giving its religious significance among Hindus, it is estimated that with 50 million annual visitors the Balak Ram's temple may soon emerge as one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the world and even surpass that of Mecca and Vatican.

History

According to the Ramayana, Rama was born in Ayodhya. Many Hindu temples and monuments suffered from iconoclasm and the destruction during Islamic rule during Medieval India. The previous temple that was built to commemorate Rama's birth located at a place named Шаблон:Transliteration (Rama's fort) seems to have been destroyed during Mughal rule and a mosque known as Masjid-i-Janmasthan (mosque of birthplace) was built on top of it.

Historical accounts by some European travelers who visited Ayodhya during the medieval ages suggest that the Hindus believed the mosque and its immediate surroundings to be the exact birthplace of Rama. The mosque was destroyed by a right-wing Hindu mob in 1992. Nevertheless, the site of the mosque being the exact site of Rama's birthplace has been a contentious issue to date which was one of the main issues in the Ayodhya dispute that was settled by the Supreme Court of India in 2019. The aftermath of the Ayodhya Verdict, the construction of the Ram Mandir temple and the choice of the deity of Rama was supervised by Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, a trust that was set up by the Indian government in 2020.

Name

The deity was originally referred to as Шаблон:Transliteration until the construction of the Ram mandir. In Шаблон:Transliteration, Tulsidas uses the word Шаблон:Transliteration.
