The Ram Mandir ( ISO: Rāma Maṁdira, lit. 'Rama Temple'), is a Hindu temple complex in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. Many Hindus believe that it is located at the site of Ram Janmabhoomi, the mythical birthplace of Rama, a principal deity of Hinduism.

The temple was inaugurated on 22 January 2024 after a religious ceremony in which the Hindu priests performed rituals for prāṇa pratiṣṭhā (transl. consecration) of the deity , while the Indian Prime Minister Modi served as the Mukhya Yajamāna (transl. chief patron) for the event. On the first day of its opening, following the consecration, the temple received a rush of over half a million visitors, and after a month, the number of daily visitors was reported to be between 100,000 and 150,000.
