Ayodhya: The construction work of the shikhar of the grand and divine Ram temple being built in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh started on Thursday, the first day of Navratri. This work is expected to be completed in four months. About 60 thousand cubic feet of stones will be used in the construction of the shikhar. Giving this information, the chairman of the temple construction committee, Nripendra Mishra, said that the construction of the peak of the 161 feet high Ram temple is expected to be completed in the next four months.
‘Plan made to speed up the construction of Ram temple’
The chairman of the temple construction committee, Nripendra Mishra, said in a statement that with the start of the construction of the shikhar of the temple, the construction of seven temples dedicated to seven sages in the complex has also accelerated and they are also likely to be completed in the next four months.
He said that a three-day review meeting has been planned from Thursday to speed up the construction of Ram temple, in which ways to increase the number of laborers in case of shortage and ways to expand the technical team if needed will be discussed.
The shikhar will be constructed in Nagar style only
According to the information, the shikhar in the temple being built in Nagar style is also being constructed in this style. The shikhar has been designed by Sompura Architects, which was already finalized by the trust. There will also be a religious flag on the shikhar. The construction of the shikhar of the temple is considered to be the most difficult.
Pran-pratishtha was done on 22 January
Understandably the Pran-Pratishtha of Ram temple in Ayodhya was done on 22 January. In November 2019, a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court ordered the disputed land of Ayodhya to be handed over to a trust to build the Ram Janmabhoomi temple.
At the same time, the apex court had also directed the government to give five acres of land to the Sunni Waqf Board at some other place to build a mosque.
