Indian PM Modi consecrating the new Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, at the location of a demolished mosque. The mosque, in its turn, may have been built after the Muslim rulers of Early Modern India erased some kind of Rama-related buildings on the site, believed to be the exact birth place of Rama, an avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.
I´m not a big fanboy of really existing Islam, nor of ditto Hinduism, but it´s kind of fascinating to watch how a polytheist "pagan" religion reclaims ground from monotheism. Note, for instance, that they use the English word "idol" in a positive sense!
