A Hindu holy man threads beads on a string at a shop in the northern Indian town of Ayodhya September 22, 2010. A court will rule on Friday whether Hindus or Muslims own land around a demolished mosque in Ayodhya, a judgement haunted by memories of a 1992 riot, some of the country's worst violence since the partition. The case over the 16th century Babri mosque is one of the biggest security challenges in India this year. REUTERS/Adnan Abidi (INDIA - Tags: POLITICS MILITARY RELIGION SOCIETY IMAGES OF THE DAY)
