695 (2024):
695 is an Indian Hindi‑language adventure film
based on the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and portrays the struggle of the Ram
Janmabhoomi Movement.
The Ram Mandir (lit. “Rama Temple”) is a partially
constructed Hindu temple complex in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. Many Hindus
believe that it is located at the site of Ram Janmabhoomi, the mythical
birthplace of Rama, a principal deity of Hinduism. The temple was inaugurated
on 22 January 2024 after a prana pratishtha (consecration) ceremony.
On the first day of its opening, following the consecration,
the temple received a rush of over half a million visitors, and after a month,
the average number of visitors was reported to be “1 to 1.5 lakh (100,000 to
150,000) on a daily basis”.
The site of the temple has been the subject of communal
tensions between Hindus and Muslims in India, as it is the former location of
the Babri Masjid mosque, which was built between 1528 and 1529. The idols of
Rama and Sita were placed in the mosque in 1949, before it was attacked and
demolished in 1992.
In 2019, the Supreme Court of India delivered the verdict to
give the disputed land to Hindus for construction of a temple, while Muslims
were given land nearby in Dhannipur in Ayodhya to construct a mosque. The court
referenced a report from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as evidence
suggesting the presence of a structure beneath the demolished Babri Masjid,
that was found to be non‑Islamic.
