Ayodhya Birth Palace of Ram

Ram Janmabhoomi is believed by many Hindus to be the birthplace of Rama, the 7th avatar of Vishnu in Hinduism. The Ramayana states that the location of Rama's birthplace is on the banks of the Sarayu river in the city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. The Babri Mosque was a mosque in Ayodhya, India. It was destroyed in 1992. The mosque was constructed in 1527 by order of Babur, the first Mughal emperor of India. Before the 1940s, the mosque was called Masjid-i Janmasthan ("mosque of the birthplace"). The Babri Mosque was one of the largest mosques in Uttar Pradesh, a state in India with some 31 million Muslims. Although there were several older mosques in the city of Ayodhya, an area with a substantial Muslim population, including the Hazrat Bal Mosque constructed by the Shariqi kings, the Babri Mosque became the largest, due to the importance of the disputed site. The political, historical and socio-religious debate over the history and location of the Babri Mosque and whether a previous temple was demolished or modified to create it, is known as the Ayodhya Debate. हिन्दुओं की मान्यता है कि श्री राम का जन्म अयोध्या में हुआ था और उनके जन्मस्थान पर एक भव्य मन्दिर विराजमान था जिसे मुगल आक्रमणकारी बाबर ने तोड़कर वहाँ एक मसजिद बना दी। राष्ट्रीय स्वयंसेवक संघ और भारतीय जनता पार्टी की अगुवाई में इस स्थान को मुक्त करने एवं वहाँ एक नया मन्दिर बनाने के लिये एक लम्बा आन्दोलन चला। ६ दिसम्बर सन् १९९२ को यह विवादित ढ़ांचा गिरा दिया गया और वहाँ श्री राम का एक अस्थायी मन्दिर निर्मित कर दिया गया।
