Today is the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. It is supposedly built on the place of birth of Ram (the protagonist of the Hindu epic Ramayana).

Even more significantly, where it is built used to stand a mosque called Babrei Masjid. It was built in 16th century and was razed by Hindu faacist by mobs in 1992.

The consecration ceremony will be attended by big names like the Prime Minister.

    Ok, didn’t know that and also didn’t expect such absurdity. I looked up, and there is also this gigantic statue of Jesus in Poland, which didn’t even seem to fit the aesthetics of the region.

        Hahaha, they installed antennas on Jesus.

        He refused to disclose the details of the contract, but said that the local church needed the network for a video surveillance system, adding that the agreement is completely legal.

        Video surveillance system, provided by a gigantic Jesus statue. Jesus sees everything.
