"Rising Demand for Saffron Props as India Prepares for Ram Temple"
TL;DR Summary
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to lead a ceremony to consecrate a new temple to the Hindu god-king Ram, fulfilling a campaign promise made over three decades ago. The construction of the temple, which began in 2020, has been a contentious issue as it stands on the site of a 16th century mosque demolished by Hindu mobs in 1992, sparking nationwide riots. The Supreme Court's decision in 2019 allowed for the construction of the Hindu temple on the condition that Muslims received another plot to build a mosque.
