Preparations are underway for the grand 'bhoomi poojan' on 5th August 2020, with Ayodhya celebrating the day as a 'mini-diwali'.

There will be a total of 175 people in attendance, comprising religious leaders and some eminent citizens from Ayodhya.

Security has been increased in the region with around 4.000 security personnel including NSG commandos manning the site and 75 check posts blocking approach roads.

The district borders have also been sealed since Monday night.

The town is expected to shut down at least two hours before the PM arrives.

Over one lakh laddus are being prepared for the ceremony and the saints participating in the ceremony will be given silver coins that have been sent by Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati of Kamikochi.
