The Temple Rebuilt At Ayodhya

Jai Shri Ram

Rends the air

When the day came

For his anointing.

The temple was inaugurated

The idol of Rama installed,

The chariot-temple

Looking like a replica

Of terracotta temples.

So artistic, so sculptural,

So replicating art and culture,

Taking us to the days of yore

Unfolding myth, faith and textuality.
