The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya has been awarded the FSSAI Eat Right Place of Worship-BHOG certificate for food quality, hygiene and safety. The temple scored 103 out of 114 marks in an evaluation across 47 parameters, placing it in the ‘very special’ category. The certificate was presented on 10 October by FSSAI CEO Rajit Punhani at an event in Ayodhya. The certification is valid for two years, during which state and central authorities will audit the temple, and the temple trust will conduct internal reviews every fortnight.

The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting, neither outlet foregrounds controversy or criticism.
