Sadhus at the Hanuman Garhi temple here welcomed the Supreme Court judgement on the Ayodhya land dispute.

Senior priest Mahant Raju Das said there would be a normal 'havan' and 'aarti' at the temple, but there would be no special puja to mark the Supreme Court verdict.

Settling a fractious issue that goes back more than a century, the Supreme Court in a historic verdict on Saturday backed the construction of a Ram temple by a government trust at the disputed site in Ayodhya and ruled that an alternative five-acre plot must be found for a mosque in the Hindu holy town.

The Hanuman Garhi temple is situated near the site.

Terming the judgement "historic" and "landmark", Das said, "I welcome the SC judgement. This is a very good judgment and I would like to congratulate the Supreme Court and the chief justice."
