Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated a grand temple to Hindu god Ram in the flashpoint city of Ayodhya.
He said it heralded "a new era" for India - the temple replaces a 16th-Century mosque torn down by Hindu mobs in 1992, sparking riots in which nearly 2,000 people died.
Top film stars and cricketers were among guests at the event in Ayodhya.
But some Hindu seers and most of the opposition boycotted it, saying Mr Modi was using it for political gain.
General elections are due in India in the next few months and Mr Modi's political rivals say the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be seeking votes in the temple's name in a country where 80% of the population is Hindu.
Critics have also accused the government of exploiting a religious celebration in a country which - according to its constitution - is secular. For Muslims, India's biggest minority, the event evoked fear and painful memories, members of the community in Ayodhya told the BBC in the run-up to Monday's ceremony.
Televised live, it showed Mr Modi performing religious rituals inside the temple's sanctum along with priests and Mohan Bhagwat, head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - the ideological fountainhead of Hindu nationalist parties.
The complex history of India's Ayodhya holy site
Transforming a flashpoint holy city into the ‘Hindu Vatican’
"Today's date will go down in history," Mr Modi said after the event. "After years of struggle and countless sacrifices, Lord Ram has arrived [home]. I want to congratulate every citizen of the country on this historic occasion."
The temple has been constructed at a cost of $217m (£170m), funded from private donations. Only the ground floor was opened - the rest is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The construction work is part of a revamp for the city, estimated to cost more than $3bn.
The building of the Ram temple in Ayodhya fulfils a decades-long Hindu nationalist pledge. Many Hindus believe the Babri mosque was built by Muslim invaders on the ruins of a temple where the Hindu god was born.
The movement to build the temple helped propel the BJP into political prominence in the 1990s.
There was a festive atmosphere as tens of thousands of chanting Hindu devotees waved flags and beat drums - military helicopters showered flower petals on the temple. Saffron flags with pictures of Lord Ram line streets in the city festooned with marigolds, as do banners with the faces of Mr Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Some of India's biggest celebrities, including Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, attended.
Temple rises from ruins of one of India’s darkest days

Transforming a flashpoint holy city into the ‘Hindu Vatican’
In many other northern cities Hindus lit lamps, and saffron flags carrying images of Ram are fluttering on rooftops, including in several parts of Delhi. Cinemas screened the event, and big screens relayed pictures from Ayodhya to town squares and residential neighbourhoods.
The ceremony, called Pran Pratishtha, which loosely translates from Sanskrit into "establishment of life force", lasted about an hour. Hindus believe that chanting mantras and performing rituals around a fire will infuse sacred life in an idol or a photograph of a deity.
Several domestic TV stations built huge sets by the side of the river Saryu, a tributary of the Ganges, just behind the temple, and provided wall-to-wall coverage of the event, some proclaiming the moment of consecration as the start of "Ram Rajya" (Lord Ram's rule) in India.
Hindus celebrated the inauguration in other countries too. Massive billboards of Lord Ram graced Times Square in New York, where a group of devotees braved the freezing weather to gather in the middle of the night.
Temples all across the United Kingdom - where Indians are one of the largest diaspora groups - marked the event. Colourful posters had been shared inviting devotees to honour the occasion and celebrations involved flowers, sweets and music. There were also some celebrations in Muslim-majority Dubai - where Indians are a significant population - but from Indian news reports these appeared more muted than elsewhere.
In 2019, the Supreme Court gave the disputed land to Hindus after a protracted legal battle followed the mosque's demolition. Muslims were given a plot outside the city for a mosque but have yet to build one.
One member of the community the BBC spoke to in Ayodhya ahead of Monday's inauguration agreed that Hindus have the right to build the temple after the Supreme Court gave them the site.
"We did not accept that decision happily, but what can we do," he said. Another man said he was happy Hindus are building the temple - "but we are also sad because it was built after destroying a mosque".
The new three-storey temple - made with pink sandstone and anchored by black granite - stretches across 7.2 acres in a 70-acre complex. A 51-inch (4.25-ft) statue of the deity, specially commissioned for the temple, was unveiled last week. The idol has been placed on a marble pedestal in the sanctum sanctorum.
Thousands of police were deployed for Monday's event, despite Mr Modi having appealed to pilgrims not to turn up and to watch the ceremony on television. In many states a full or half day holiday was called, with schools and colleges closed and stock markets shut.
The build-up to a demolition that shook India
The man who helped Lord Ram win the Ayodhya case
But a sour note was struck with some top religious seers saying that as the temple was not yet complete, it was against Hinduism to perform the rituals there, and many opposition leaders deciding to stay away.
Some opposition-ruled states also announced their own plans for the day - West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she would pray at the iconic temple to goddess Kali in Kolkata and then lead an all-faith rally. The eastern state of Odisha (Orissa) unveiled huge plans to bring pilgrims to the Jagannath temple in Puri, one of the holiest sites for Hindus.
Authorities say they expect more than 150,000 visitors per day once the temple in Ayodhya is fully ready.
To accommodate this expected rush, new hotels are being built and existing ones spruced up as part of a major makeover and in recent weeks, a new airport and railway station have opened.
Officials say they are building a "world-class city where people come as pilgrims and tourists", but many local people have told the BBC that their homes, shops and "structures of religious nature" have been either completely or partially demolished to expand roads and set up other facilities.

"January 22, 2024 is not merely a date in the calendar but heralds the advent of a new era," Modi said, speaking outside the temple to the Hindu deity Ram, built on grounds where a mosque stood for centuries before it was torn down in 1992 by Hindu zealots incited by members of his party.
That demolition triggered the worst religious riots since independence – killing 2,000 people, most of them Muslims – and shook the foundations of India's officially secular political order.
Tens of thousands of chanting and dancing devotees waving flags, honking horns and beating drums have converged on the northern town of Ayodhya, with roads clogged, trains packed full and the rest marching in on foot.
Few members of Ayodhya's Muslim community were seen joining the jubilant street party.
But for Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the opening of the Ram Mandir temple is a landmark moment in a decades-long campaign to align the country's governance with its majority faith.
"The Lord has made me an instrument to represent all the people of India", Modi said when he launched an 11-day ritual fast ahead of the "auspicious" opening.
Tycoons, cricketers and actors
Excitement has reached a fever pitch, with thousands of Hindu believers dancing in packed streets as giant loudspeakers blast out religious tunes.
Vijay Kumar, 18, took four days to reach the town after walking and hitchhiking 600 kilometres (370 miles).
"We just wanted to be here," Kumar said. "We just wish to see the temple before we leave."
About 2,500 musicians are expected to perform on over 100 stages for the crowds of pilgrims, desperate to see the elaborate temple, built at an estimated $240 million that the project's backers say was sourced from public donations.
The 140 kilometres (87 miles) between the town and Uttar Pradesh state capital Lucknow is a seemingly endless stream of billboards of blue-skinned Ram with bow and arrow – as well as of Modi and the region's chief minister, the saffron-robed Hindu monk Yogi Adityanath.
Bukesh Rajiybng, 54, travelled for three days in a jam-packed train to attend the celebration.
"It's a moment we have all dreamed of for decades," he said. "I think the people and Ram will definitely bless Modi for this."
Other attendees jetted in to the newly built international airport and will stay at a crop of hotels built to cater to the millions of pilgrims expected to visit each year. 
Among the celebrity guests at the opening are Indian tycoons, former national cricket captain Virat Kohli and Bollywood titan Amitabh Bachchan.
'Death and destruction'
Modi and the BJP have sought to bring the Hindu faith to the forefront of public life since sweeping to power a decade ago.
Party luminaries regularly condemn earlier eras of Islamic rule over parts of India as a time of "slavery" when their own religion was oppressed, with Ayodhya a key plank in their narrative.
Devout Hindus believe Ram, one of the most revered Hindu gods, was born in the town more than 7,000 years ago, but that the Babri mosque was built over his birthplace by a 16th-century Muslim emperor.
The BJP played an instrumental role in public campaigning that eventually led to the mosque's demolition.
The destruction presaged the rise of the BJP and Modi as unstoppable electoral juggernauts, displacing the secularist Congress party that had governed India almost without interruption since independence from Britain.
Modi's consecration of the temple alongside Hindu priests will again project him as a defender of the faith ahead of a general election expected to begin in April.
The BJP is heavily favoured to win a third successive landslide victory, in part because of Modi's appeals to Hindu nationalism, and opposition parties are boycotting the temple ceremony, saying the event will be a thinly veiled campaign rally.
Many of India's 200 million Muslims, already anxious in a climate of increased sectarian tensions, have watched the clamour around the temple with trepidation.
Mohammed Shahid, 52, speaking to AFP last month in Ayodhya, recounted how his father was burned alive by a mob.
"For me, the temple symbolises nothing but death and destruction", he said.

DAY 3596(i)
Jalsa, Mumbai                Jan 29,  2018              Mon 8:26 AM
AAHHHHH .. yes .. this is the new dawn .. the one that went out just before .. went out .. gone out of the window .. a word , many words, a relationship, an acquaintance, a belief, a friendship, a coming together of unknown souls now known, a faith that defied all other faiths, an understanding , a liberty of sharing, an exclusive commitment , unknown to all, known to the concerned, inexplainable , devoid of any hurt or misunderstanding, sheer love and the utmost recognition of being in one spirit .. lost and devoured by CONDITIONING .. the conditioning of pressing the button at the wrong time .. once pressed, gone out to the Hiroshima and Nagasakied world .. destroyed beyond submission .. 
Such is the mechanics of this Blog .. this technical marvel .. that when excited and manoeuvred reaches out instantly .. care needs to be taken then .. when to press, when to hold and what it takes to hold ..
The last one a few moments ago went away ..
SO .. after the love of the Sunday .. the care and love of many others too .. 
I care for them that have lost .. lost what they were given at birth .. a complete body .. a normal functional system .. accidentally they lost a part of it .. sad and unfortunate .. very sad .. for one should never lose that which the Maker gave us .. but the Maker gave those that possess all, to be able to care for them that have lost .. and so I go to such .. to offer, to contribute in my little way for them ..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On my 75th a 1000 hearing aids were given to the elderly and weak and those that could not afford by a dear friend and sympathiser to the cause .. today I acknowledged that gesture by personally giving out symbolic help .. by contributing of my own several hundred more .. 
They are humble and poor and so grateful ..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are without a limb .. they have lost it through an unfortunate accident .. we give them prosthetics to live and survive and function as normally as they can .. and they are a marvel ..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
..... this young man lost his right hand .. but he works with it through the prosthetics provided .. and draws and thanks us for the gift .. it is unimaginable how they manage .. you cannot make out their disability .. that right hand of his is a complete prosthetic .. !!
And this young man lost his entire leg .. he is a yoga teacher now after the prosthetics that were provided .. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I speak to them by example .. just as I did the day before for the event for the protection of the girl child ..  for the girl child protection I am trying to upload the speech here in a while .. but for today’s function I admired the efforts made by the organisation for the help they provide .. I admired the courage of them that get disabled .. and I give example of my own suffering ..
I lost my left hand entirely because of a bomb explosion during Diwali .. the left hand .. my strong hand .. and gave example of how difficult it is to function when we do not have the use of the one hand .. 
I could not wear clothes .. i could not button my shirt .. cannot wear pants on my own , cannot buckle to my waist  ,, cannot eat with the spoon .. cannot just do so many normal things because there is no left hand .. my fortune was that mine came back .. but they that have lost a limb are in no less a condition that I was in .. I got my faculty back, they did not .. I know and realise the difficulties they face each moment .. therefore I know what it means to be able to give them a substitute as it were, to live as normal a life as possible .. 
A most satisfying Sunday .. and then taken around the premise of the building we conduct this event .. the NIIMS Educational Venture here just next to Jalsa .. a fairly normal ordinary looking structure from the outside, but so elegant and modern and facilitated with the best educational qualities .. we never ever even dreamt of such facilities .. but just look .. their study classes, library study rooms, Bloomberg computer section with all the world connected information .. this is a Management College .. their Atrium .. just 5 star luxury to study .. simply amazing ..
Tumblr media
this is 10 floor College from the inside .. down below is the Atrium where a forest is created for students to sit around talk discuss relax .. floors are like a 5 star Hotel .. these are classrooms  ..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the theatre that you just saw where the function took place is underground .. and underground also is the 3 floor parking lot for over 200 hundred cars .. the theatre can be accessed from underground and reach the back stage without any exposure in the front .. green rooms galore and all facilities for a performing group provided for select customers .. so invigorating .. so efficient neat clean and a wonderful creative atmosphere for study ..
I want to get back to College again ..  indeed I have asked them to put up a short course in Management and Finance for say 3 weeks for uneducated people like me to attend and learn educate ourselves .. 
Gratitude then to the conceivers of such - Amrish Bhai Patel, MLA  and the construction giant Anand Bhai Pandit .. and Kirit bhai who organised the donation function and its initiative ..
Tumblr media
I leave for work now .. and yes the pain is under management too ..not the study kind .. but under Doctors care  .. its something that shall pass .. just like so many other .. 
My love then as ever .. keep well .. keep together and keep connected ..

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has donated Rs 2 crore to Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur COVID Care Centre at the Gurdwara Rakab Ganj Sahib here to help them combat the coronavirus crisis.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa, president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, shared the news on Twitter.
"'Sikhs are Legendary, salute to their service'. These were the words of @SrBachchan Ji when he contributed Rs 2 Cr to Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Covid Care Facility," Sirsa wrote on Sunday.
He said when Delhi was facing crunch in oxygen supply, Bachchan would every day enquire about the progress at the facility, which started operations from Monday afternoon with 300 beds.
In another tweet, Sirsa informed that the 78-year-old actor has also arranged oxygen cylinders from abroad for the facility.
"He is not just a REEL Hero but a Real life Hero," he said.
During the "VAX LIVE: The Concert to Reunite the World", which aired on Sunday, Bachchan had also urged the global community to help India, which is currently battling a deadly second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
"My country India is battling with the sudden surge of the second wave of COVID-19. As a global citizen I appeal to all global citizens to rise up, speak to your governments, your pharmaceutical companies, and ask them to donate, to give, to extend a helping hand to the public that needs it the most. Every effort counts," he had said.
On Sunday, Delhi recorded 273 coronavirus deaths and 13,336 new infections, the health department said.
