First, Shah went to the Sangam, which is the holy confluence of rivers Ganga and Yamuna, and offer his prayers.
It is said that he will be visiting various holy places and meet saints during his one-day visit.
Shah's visit assumes significance amid demands by various Hindutva groups for the government to bring in a law for the early construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The BJP chief has reiterated on multiple occasions his party's commitment to the cause of temple construction. The Ram temple title case is presently being heard in the Supreme Court.
