Ayodhya and the temples will wear a festive look - the kind never seen before," said Prem Nath, who is overseeing flower decorations on the 'bhumi pujan' site and the makeshift Ram temple. According to Prem Nath, flowers will also be used to make 'rangoli' at more than 50 spots in the holy city by the students from Ram Manohar Lohia Faizabad University.
