Maharashtra state chief minister Eknath Shinde said he will visit Ayodhya to offer prayers to Lord Ram, but did not specify any date. A grand temple of Lord Ram is being constructed in the Uttar Pradesh city.
Speaking to reporters at the Nagpur airport, Shinde, while replying a question, said some religious leaders from Ayodhya paid him a visit on Monday and invited him to Ayodhya for a darshan of Lord Ram.
Shinde said, Ayodhya is a place of worship and admiration for us and I will definitely visit the place. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had performed the bhoomi pujan for the construction of the temple in August 2020.
A Supreme Court verdict of November 2019 had paved the way for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
