The Construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is going on at a brisk pace. If everything goes well it will be open by December 2023.
The UP Government will see to it that it just happens before the elections for the parliament. The construction of the Ram Temple will definitely be used by the BJP government for coming back to power in the next elections.
The length of the temple is 360 feet, width 235 feet and the height of each floor will be 20 feet. There will be 160 columns on the ground floor, 132 columns on the first floor and 74 columns on the second floor.
The height of the sanctum sanctorum or “Shikhar” will be 161 feet from the ground floor. The temple will be constructed with Rajasthan stone and marble.
Around four lakh cubic feet of stone will be used in the temple construction. The plan focuses on the conservation and development of heritage structures like “Kuber Tila” and “Sita Koop”.
The temple complex will include a pilgrim facilitation centre, museum, archives, research centre, auditorium, a cattle shed, a place for rituals, an administrative building and rooms for priests.
The soil investigation report had revealed filled up debris up to a depth of 12 metres and excavation work is on to clear it and fill it with concrete.
The site that was for years caught in a dispute after the 16th-century Babri mosque was razed in 1992 by Hindu activists who believed it was built on the ruins of an ancient temple for Lord Ram.
