"Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir: From Construction to Consecration"

The Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, set to open on January 22, is the culmination of a 169-year-old history and a gargantuan construction effort that will continue till early 2025. The temple, located on a 2.77-acre plot in Ayodhya, is part of a larger 70-acre complex and is being constructed with symbolism and syncretic elements from across India. The temple's design, construction challenges, and the efforts of the workers and engineers involved in the project are highlighted, making it a significant religious and engineering feat in independent India.

India's Court Orders Survey of Mosque in Controversial Hindu-Muslim Dispute

An Indian court has granted permission to survey the Shahi Eidgah mosque in Mathura city, Uttar Pradesh, to determine if it contains Hindu relics and symbols. Hindu groups claim the mosque was built on the site of a destroyed Hindu temple believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna. The survey aims to ascertain the presence of any relics or Hindu symbols inside the mosque. This dispute is part of a larger controversy in India, where hardline Hindu groups seek to reclaim and restore revered temples, often leading to conflicts with the country's Muslim minority.

Lebanon divided over daylight saving time.

Lebanon woke up in two time zones on Sunday as a dispute between political and religious authorities escalated over a decision to extend winter time for a month. Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati issued a decision on Thursday to roll clocks forward an hour on April 20, instead of entering daylight savings time on the last weekend of March as is usually the case in Lebanon, Europe and other regions. The influential Maronite church announced it would disobey the decision, calling it “surprising” and saying there had been no consultations with other actors or considerations of international standards. Meanwhile, Muslim institutions and parties appeared set to remain in winter time, deepening divides in a country that witnessed a 1975-90 civil war between Christian and Muslim factions.
