Prime Minister Narendra Modi today participated in a "Bhoomi Pujan" or a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the building of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya. PM Modi, in a gold silk kurta and white dhoti, arrived by chopper to the riverside town - his first visit in 29 years -- and prayed at a Hanuman temple before laying a 40-kg silver brick in Ram Janmabhoomi, at a site disputed for decades until the Supreme Court handed over ownership to Hindus last year. The historic event showcases the triumph of one of India's longest campaigns, one that found resonance with millions in the country and abroad
