From night vision devices to CCTV cameras with artificial intelligence (AI), Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya has been secured tightly for the Ram temple consecration ceremony. The temple has been decorated with tonnes of flowers and colourful lights. Invitees to the pran pratishtha ceremony started arriving yesterday. Once a quiet town, it is now resplendent with new infrastructure and religious fervour, a day before the seminal event in India's political and religious history.
