Ayodhya and Ayutthaya, one in India and the other in Thailand. Separated by geographical boundaries, the two towns are united not just in name but also in faith.

After an elaborate 'bhumi poojan' ceremony, the construction of a 'grand Ram temple' begun today in Ayutthaya, a historic city in Thailand, a senior functionary of the Ram Janmabhumi Nirman Nyas Trust said.

At least 12 people have died and dozens are missing in Thailand after a boat carrying 150 Thai Muslims capsized in the ancient tourist city of Ayutthaya, officials said today.

Battered by the strong yen and Thailand's floods, Honda's net earnings tumbled 41 per cent to 47.6 billion yen.
