Summary:

AYODHYA: Two women constables are on duty at the final security check on way to the makeshift Ram temple in Ayodhya . "Sooter bunn rahe, aur kya kare (I'm knitting a sweater with nothing else to do)," she says.On the 26th anniversary of the Babri mosque demolition, security was heavy around the temple site in Ayodhya. The few visitors at the makeshift shrine, where the idol of Ram Lalla sits under tarpaulin sheets, were seen bowing their heads, putting donation in the transparent box and taking prasad from the pujari. One of them appears far busier than the other as she sits on the floor knitting something out of a cream-coloured wool ball. Silence dominated the site and, unlike the previous visit, no one chanted any slogan..
