The Rath Yatra for the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was famously started by L.K. Advani, a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in September 1990. Advani's Rath Yatra, also known as the "Ram Rath Yatra," was a highly influential political campaign aimed at mobilizing public support for the construction of a Ram Mandir at the disputed site in Ayodhya. The yatra involved Advani traveling across various parts of India in a specially constructed chariot (rath), rallying support for the cause. The Rath Yatra played a significant role in galvanizing the Ram Janmabhoomi movement and shaping the political landscape of India.
