Muslim groups plan to begin building a new mosque in Ayodhya after the construction of a grand Ram temple. The mosque project, named "Masjid Muhammed bin Abdullah," will take three to four years to build. The site was given to Hindu groups to build a temple after the 16th-century Babri Masjid was razed in 1992. The mosque project was delayed but will now include traditional elements like minarets and a 500-bed hospital.
