Ayodhya will soon have memorials of Hindu religious icons and leaders associated with the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the memorials would come up in the near future.

Addressing the inaugural ceremony of Lata Mangeshkar Memorial in Ayodhya, Adityanath said memorials will also be developed of top Hindu philosophers such as Ramanandacharya and Ramanujacharya.

An intersection has been named after legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar and was inaugurated yesterday (28 September) on the occasion of her ninty-third birth anniversary virtually by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The PM had tweeted saying, “Remembering Lata Didi on her birth anniversary. There is so much that I recall… the innumerable interactions in which she would shower so much affection.

I am glad that today, a Chowk in Ayodhya will be named after her. It is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest Indian icons."

The 'Lata Mangeshkar Chauraha' at the banks of the Saryu river has been developed at an estimated cost of Rs 7.9 crore. A 40-ft-long and 12-metre-high veena weighing 14 tonnes has been installed at the intersection.

The one-of-its-kind giant veena has been made by Padma Shri awardee Ram Sutar.
