New Delhi: The construction of the magnificent Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is picking up speed, with notable developments marking its path to completion. A key feature of the temple, the 161-foot pinnacle, will be partially covered in gold, adding to its visual appeal.
The gold plating will extend about ten feet down from the top of the shikhara (spire), creating a striking aesthetic element.
Nripendra Misra, Chairman of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee, provided updates on the progress, stating, “The work is on track as planned, but we aim to speed things up further. While the number of workers has increased, it still slightly lags behind expectations. Our primary goal is to finish the temple by mid-March.”
Alongside the main temple, seven smaller shrines, known as the Sapt Mandap, are also expected to be completed within the same timeline. Misra noted that approximately 75 percent of the stone carving and finishing work should be finalized by this stage. One of the most complex features, a 500-foot-long carving depicting the Ram Katha, has already been completed, and preparations are underway for its installation.
Additionally, improvements to visitor facilities are in progress. The Yatri Suvidha Kendra (tourist facilitation centre), power distribution sub-stations, and a sewage treatment plant are slated for handover to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust by January 2025.
“Our aim is to have these auxiliary structures fully operational to accommodate the expected influx of devotees,” Misra emphasized.
The Ram Mandir is a Hindu temple located in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The sanctum sanctorum and the first floor were completed in January 2024, and the idol of Ramlalla, representing Lord Ram in his child form, was consecrated on January 22, 2024.
