Donations to Ram Mandir Face Scrutiny Amid Allegations of Misappropriation

New Delhi. Controversy over allegations of misappropriation of crores of rupees in cash and valuable donations offered by devotees at Ram Mandir has reached its peak about two years after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated it. The three-story temple, inaugurated in January 2024, has now become one of India's major pilgrimage sites.

An estimated 50 million devotees are expected to visit annually. While 70,000 to 80,000 devotees visit the temple premises daily, this number increases further on weekends and festivals.
