The politics of prayer at a divine but divisive site that’s shaped modern India: Ayodhya. The opening of the new temple is widely seen as the unofficial launch of Mr Modi’s re-election campaign. His ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been agitating for a temple here since the 1980s. For his supporters, now is a moment of triumph. For Muslims, it’s a moment of trepidation. In 1992, a Hindu mob used bare hands to tear down a mosque where the temple now stands, triggering a national spasm of communal violence that left some 2,000 people – mostly Muslims - dead. With a national election looming, Katya asks two veteran BBC India correspondents, Yogita Limaye and Soutik Biswas, what the new temple means for Indian unity and for Mr Modi’s campaign for a third term.
