Several Bollywood celebrities and celebrities from across the country and various industries have been invited to attend the ceremony.
More than 7,000 people, including politicians, industrialists, holy men and women and celebrities from across the country are expected to attend the grand opening.
Invitees to the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony started arriving in the temple town on Sunday, which is now resplendent with new infrastructure and religious fervour, that is bound to be a milestone in India's political and religious history.
From night vision devices to CCTV cameras with artificial intelligence (AI), Ayodhya has been fortified for the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony that will be attended by hundreds of VIPs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive on Monday morning.
Ceremonial gates depicting 'Jai Shri Ram' in floral patterns and illumination visible at night add to the aura of the ancient city, which has undergone a massive infrastructural growth.
Recordings of 'Ram dhun' played from loudspeakers and people dressed as Lord Ram, Sita, Laxman and Hanuman are being paraded down the streets.
Cut-outs of the Ram temple along with Lord Ram have been put up at the Lata Mangeshkar Chowk.
The main 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony will begin at 12.20 p.m. and is expected to end by 1 p.m. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will then address a gathering of more than 7,000 people, including seers and prominent personalities, at the venue. The entire event will be telecast live.
Surveillance drones have been scanning the ground for suspicious activity. Ayodhya's 'yellow zone' has 10,715 AI-based cameras with face-recognition technology.
To bolster emergency response capabilities, teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) have been deployed. SDRF teams will conduct boat patrols on the Saryu river.
