Old video of a road submerged in water goes viral in the name of Ayodhya

The viral video has been available on the internet since 2023 under the name of Dubai; it is not related to Ayodhya.

The monsoon has caused widespread disruption across India. Mumbai and Delhi have experienced extremely heavy rainfall. The water level of the Saryu River in Ayodhya also has risen.  Against this backdrop, video is going viral in the name of Ayodhya. In the video, we see a broken road with heavy water flow. At the 16th second of the same viral video is another clip where people got stuck in a subway and a few people crossed the subway with their belongings in shopping trolleys. The users who shared the video claim that this video shows the plight after the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
