How many years is Ayodhya Ram Mandir?

The modern dispute for the temple dates back to 1855 when the British recorded the first religious fracas over the plot, but the confrontation snowballed once the locks of the then-barred Babri Masjid were opened in 1986. Suddenly, Uttar Pradesh was aflame, and the VHP sensed that the time to push for a mandir had arrived.

By 1989, Hindu groups were readying for a symbolic sanyas, or foundation laying, of the temple even as negotiations under then PM Chandra Sekhar’s aegis proceeded in Delhi. But there was a lingering question – who would design a temple that was destined to become one of the nodes of the Hindu faith? Then VHP chief Ashok Singhal had only one name in mind.
