About

The Ram temple, inaugurated by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ayodhya, is currently facing controversy due to allegations of embezzlement of devotee donations amounting to tens of millions of rupees. This has led to a significant overhaul of the temple's governing trust. Following a police complaint on June 25th, two officials, Rai and Anil Mishra, resigned. Krishna Mohan, a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has been appointed as the interim general secretary. The temple, built on the site of a 16th-century mosque demolished by Hindu mobs in 1992, remains a significant symbol of Hindu nationalism and a focal point of religious and political discourse in India. The current developments highlight ongoing scrutiny of the temple's financial management and its leadership.
