LUCKNOW: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will perform ‘bhoomi pujan’ as part of 15-minute rituals to formally mark the start of Ram temple construction in Ayodhya on Wednesday, bringing to culmination a religio-political campaign that decisively changed the country’s politics, strained communal equations and catapulted BJP to the pole position while bringing its Hindutva ideology centrestage.

勒克瑙：周三，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪将在阿约提亚主持15分钟的‘bhoomi pujan’仪式，正式标志着罗摩神庙建设的开始，使宗教政治运动达到高潮，决定性地改变了国家政治，加剧了社区关系的紧张，将印度人民党推上了首发位置，同时将印度教意识形态推向中心。

The bhoomi pujan, designed to be a grand celebration of the triumph of the Ram Mandir campaign, comes 10 months after the Supreme Court’s verdict ended one of the longest-running court battles in independent India.

10个月前，印度最高法院的判决结束了印度独立以来持续时间最长的一场法庭之争，“bhoomi pujan”典礼是为了隆重庆祝罗摩神庙运动的胜利。

It will go down as a momentous occasion for a cause that, starting in the late 1980s, turned into the mascot, which helped BJP acquire pre-eminence in the following decades while transforming Hindutva from a fringe phenomenon into mainstream concern.

这将作为一项事业的一个重要时刻而被载入史坛，这项事业从上世纪80年代末开始，变成了印度人民党的吉祥物，帮助人民党在接下来的几十年里获得了卓越地位，同时把印度教从边缘现象转变为主流关注。

The launch of temple construction at the site where Babri Masjid had stood before being demolished on December 6, 1992, by a mob of kar sevaks has attracted few protests.

建神庙的选址处原是一座巴布里，1992年12月6日，一群暴徒拆毁了巴布里，却没有引起多少抗议。

Ayodhya has been decked up for the ceremony and over 3,500 security personnel have been deployed across the temple town for foolproof security. Concerned over the spread of coronavirus, the authorities are encouraging people not to come to the town, asking them to mark the occasion by celebrating in their homes. Roads leading to Ayodhya display hoardings with pictures of the Ram temple and Ram Lalla,, the deity now housed in a makeshift temple. Borders of Ayodhya district, however, have been sealed. SSP Deepak Kumar said the focus of the force was on maintaining the Covid-19 protocol.

为了这次仪式，阿约提亚精心装饰，3500多名安保人员被部署在寺庙镇各处，以确保安全万无一失。由于担心冠状病毒的传播，当局劝告人们不要到该镇来，并要求他们在家中庆祝这一盛事。通往阿约提亚的道路上挂着印有罗摩神庙和罗摩之婴（印度教大神毗湿奴化身罗摩的幼体）图片的广告牌，罗摩大神现在住在一个临时搭建的寺庙里。然而，阿约提亚地区的边界已被封锁。警司 Deepak Kumar说，安保人员的重点是维持秩序，确保防疫规定的执行。

The PM will arrive in Ayodhya via Lucknow around 11.30am and reach the Ram Janmabhoomi makeshift temple after offering prayers at Hanumangarhi, the seat of Lord Hanuman, 3 km away. The bhoomi pujan will last 15 minutes, between 12.30 pm and 12.45 pm, and will be performed in the presence of 175 select guests. Modi, along with UP governor Anandiben Patel, CM Yogi Adityanath, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and temple trust president Nritya Gopal Das will be on the dais. The PM will also plant a Parijat tree and release a commemorative postal stamp on the Ram temple. The ceremony will be telecast live on Doordarshan.

总理将于上午11点30分左右经勒克瑙抵达阿约提亚，在3公里外哈努曼神庙祈祷后抵达临时搭建的罗摩庙。‘bhoomi pujan’仪式将持续15分钟，从下午12:30到12:45，175名宾客将出席。莫迪，连同北方邦州长帕特尔，首席部长约吉，RSS首领巴格瓦特和寺庙信托会主席达斯将会出就坐在讲台上。总理还将种下一棵Parijat树，并发行罗摩神庙纪念邮票。典礼将由全印电视台进行电视直播。

Adityanath, who has appealed to people to watch the ceremony from their homes due to Covid-19 restrictions, also called upon people to light diyas on Tuesday evening. He lit diyas at his official residence in Lucknow.

由于新冠肺炎疫情的限制，约吉特呼吁人们在家中观看仪式，他还呼吁人们在周二晚上点亮油灯。他在勒克瑙的官邸点了油灯。

This will be Modi’s first visit to Ayodhya after becoming PM six years ago. Though he visited the border of Faizabad-Ambedkar Nagar to address a rally for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he sidestepped the clamour for construction of the Ram temple. Local BJP workers recall that his previous visit to the temple town was in 1991, when he had accompanied the then BJP chief Murli Manohar Joshi during his Tiranga Yatra.

这将是莫迪6年前就任总理后首次访问阿约提亚。尽管他访问了Faizabad-Ambedkar Nagar边境，为2019年人民院选举发表演讲，但他回避了建罗摩神庙寺的呼声。当地的人民党工人回忆说，他上一次访问寺庙镇是在1991年，当时他陪同当时的人民党主席穆利·马诺哈尔·乔希。
