Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra tweeted, “The work started on May 11, 2020. Since then many objects have been discovered during excavation. It include many objects of archaeological importance like flowers made of stone, Kalash, Aamalak, Dorjamb etc.”
The findings hold significance as the presence of a temple beneath the overground structures was a bone of contention for decades and was later resolved by the Supreme Court of the country.
It should be noted that ASI findings had stated that there were remains of an ancient temple beneath the site where the Babri Masjid was erected.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
