Appeals for peace have come from Hindu and Muslim organisations and different political leaders ahead of the verdict.
Security arrangements have been stepped up in different parts of the country, with multi-layered arrangements being made in the temple town of Ayodhya.
The Uttar Pradesh government has ordered the closure of all schools, colleges, educational institutions and training centres in the state from Saturday to Monday. Yogi Adityanath has asked for two helicopters to be on standby, one in Lucknow and one in Ayodhya, to tackle any possible emergency.
Schools in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu and Karnataka will remain closed today.
The dispute over 2.77 acres of land in Ayodhya, claimed by both Hindus and Muslims, has dominated political discourse since the 1980s. In 1992, right wing activists tore down the 16th century Babri mosque that they believed was built on the ruins of an ancient temple that marked the birthplace of the Lord Ram. In the riots that followed, more than 2,000 people were killed across the country.
