Uttar Pradesh: Ayodhya Ram Mandir Construction Continues At Brisk Pace, Two-Third Digging Completed

Indicating the speed of Ram Mandir’s construction at Ayodhya, two-thirds of the digging at site stands complete.

Ashish Sompura, chief architect of the temple said that as the digging is almost over at the site, they are now testing the sound alongside preparation of filling samples to be used in the ground.

The temple would have stone pillars running 12 metres deep under the ground. As a majority of the technical things have been completed, the authorities are now expecting to fill in the land by March-end or early April, reports Financial Express.

In April, the basic construction may start and continue for around three years. After this is done, interior decoration for the temple will start.

Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust's general secretary Champat Rai on 7 March said that the construction of the grand temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya is likely to be completed in three years.

Rai said that the temple will be built in about two and a half acres of land and a wall will be built around it, which is called Parkota. He said that retaining walls will be built inside the ground to prevent the effects of floods.

Also in accordance with its plan to expand the temple complex area to 107 acres from 70 acres, the Mandir trust has purchased around 7,285 square feet of land adjacent to Ram Janmabhoomi premises in Ayodhya.
