Ayodhya: A two-day meeting of the Ram Temple Construction Committee was held at the Circuit House in Ayodhya. It was claimed in the meeting that by the end of 2023, Ram Lalla would be seated in the grand temple. Darshan of Ramlala will also start for the devotees by the end of 2023. At the same time, the entire complex of 70 acres will be developed by 2025, for which the master plan has also been prepared.
Champat Rai, general secretary of Ram Janma Bhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, said that Mirzapur stone would be used for the plinth of the temple. The order has been placed for Mirzapur Stone. The first batch of Mirzapur Stone has also reached the campus. For the waterproofing of the plinth, three layers of granite stone will be installed around the plinth. It is believed that granite stone proves helpful in absorbing rainwater. It has been decided to use Jodhpur stone for the wall of the Ram temple, for which the Rajasthan government is being approached.
The Government of India is in constant touch with the Government of Rajasthan regarding the Bansi Paharpur stone used in the construction of the temple. The state and central governments are cooperating in this matter and stone procurement is likely to start soon. A preliminary master plan has been prepared for the development of the entire campus outside Parkota. It includes a pilgrimage facility, museum, archives, research center, auditorium, cowshed, Yagya shala and administrative building.
Suggestions of saints and sadhus of local Ram Nagari will also be included in the master plan. 15 layers of the foundation of Ram temple have been prepared. The work of 16th layer is going on. Nripendra Mishra, Chairman of Ram Mandir Construction Committee, Champat Rai, General Secretary of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, members Anil Mishra, Vimlendra Mohan Mishra, Treasurer Govind Giri Maharaj, experts of Tata Consultancy LNT were present in the meeting.
