The mood, though, isn’t as upbeat as it was last week. With the government virtually sealing all entry points into Ayodhya, the VHP says it might have to take the roundabout route, bringing in the Rambhakts by foot. As things stand, no train, bus, not even a bullock cart can cross into the temple town without the permission of the district magistrate. The VHP gameplan seems to be to find ways of providing Rambhakts accommodation outside Ayodhya for now and then sneaking them in later. According to Sharma, "Villagers around Faizabad are our best bet. They are mostly willing to give shelter to the Rambhakts. Later, the devotees will reach here with a vengeance and the pillars will be moved to the proposed site."
