Hindu devotees and locals welcome the arrival of two pieces of stone weighing around 30 and 14 tonnes in Ayodhya, a city in India's state of Uttar Pradesh, on February 1.

These pieces of rock are called "Shaligram stones", a variety found only on the riverbed of Kali Gandaki river in Nepal. They are considered a symbol of Vishnu, the God of Preservation, in Hinduism.

The stones will be used to carve the idols of Lord Ram and Sita and placed in Ayodhya's Ram temple.
