According to Ram Mandir Trust Secretary Champat Rai, the Construction of the Ram temple has reached the halfway stage and the sanctum sanctorum will be ready to place the idol by next year’s ‘Makar Sankranti’.
The sanctum sanctorum has been designed in such a way that the rays of the rising sun fall on the idol’s forehead, he said on Friday, as per news agency PTI.
Work on the ground floor has reached the halfway point. It is believed that the ground floor of the sanctum sanctorum will be completed by August. The construction of a 21-ft high plinth or the temple floor has already been completed, Rai informed.
A layer of stones has been placed at a height of 11 feet. Eight layers of stones have been carved for the temple and 5-ft granite stones installed all around to strengthen the temple’s foundations.
The ground floor of the sanctum sanctorum will include 170 pillars.
As per the Ram Mandir Trust Secretary, the ground and first floors are likely to be completed by January 2024. But, it will take at least another five months to reach the top, he added.
