The rituals were led by PM Narendra Modi, while opposition leaders and some Hindu seers stayed away.
The ceremony, which was televised live, showed Mr Modi performing religious rituals inside the temple's sanctum along with priests and Mohan Bhagwat, head of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - the ideological fountainhead of Hindu nationalist parties. Only the ground floor of the temple was opened - the rest of the structure is expected to be completed only by the end of the year.
