Both fanfare and controversy surround a new Hindu temple in India, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi presiding over the opening on Monday.
The site sits on the ruins of a former mosque – a political triumph for Modi as he seeks to elevate Hinduism in what has been a constitutionally secular state.
The temple is in Adodhya where Hindu mobs tore down a mosque three decades ago.
Eric Sorensen explains why Modi is being accused of stoking religious tensions, and the history behind the land where the new Ram Temple now stands.
