The temple city has been decorated with posters and flags bearing Lord Rama's picture. Besides Ayodhya, other cities have been decorated with lights, huge cutouts of Lord Ram and posters bearing religious slogans related to Lord Ram. Many temples are holding grand events to mark the significant event.
