The "dharmadesh" issued by the Shankaracharya asked the government to "amend the Constitution" and demanded that a new section be included in the Constitution similar to Sections 133, 136 and 226(3). The dharam sansad said this will ensure that the Ram Mandir and Ram Janmabhoomi is treated as an issue of national importance and public interest, reported the The Times of India.

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had also visited Ayodhya on November 25, 26 and attended the event to meet the saints and seers. He performed and took part in the ‘Saryu Aarti’ and offered prayers at the makeshift Ram temple during his two-day visit to Ayodhya.
