بابری مسجد was a mosque located in Ayodhya, India, built in the 16th century. It was constructed by the Mughal emperor Babur and became a significant religious site for Muslims. The mosque was situated on a site believed by many Hindus to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, making it a focal point of religious and political tensions. In 1992, the mosque was demolished by a large group of Hindu activists, leading to widespread riots and violence across India. The event sparked a long-standing legal and political dispute over the site, culminating in a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2019 that allowed the construction of a Hindu temple at the location.
