The Ram Temple in Ayodhya is soon to receive a magnificent eight-foot-tall gold-plated marble throne for the idol of Lord Ram, which is currently being meticulously crafted by skilled artisans in Rajasthan.
Anil Mishra, a member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, has confirmed that this resplendent throne is expected to grace Ayodhya by December 15, as reported by the Economic Times.
The designated location for this splendid throne is the inner sanctum of the Ram Temple, with the throne itself measuring eight feet in height, three feet in length, and four feet in width.
Mishra also mentioned that devout followers of Lord Ram have made generous donations of gold and silver items, including coins and bricks, both prior to and following the formation of the Trust. However, to address security concerns, these contributions will be melted down into a solid block under the supervision of a reputable organization, ensuring their safekeeping.
In anticipation of the grand consecration ceremony, construction efforts for the Ram Temple have been accelerated, with an expanded workforce to meet the demands of the project. Mishra stressed the importance of completing the ground floor of the temple by December 15, regardless of any challenges.
He provided updates on the progress, noting that the first floor is 80% complete, the construction of the inner sanctum is finished, and work on the flooring of the Parikrama Marg has also been completed. The current focus is on installing marble on the floor of the Griha Mandap and other areas, including the stairs.
Mishra further elaborated on the ongoing construction work, stating that the roofing work on all three floors of the passenger convenience center has been finalized, and safety equipment is currently being installed.
The entrance gate of the outer wall (parkota) of the Ram Mandir is in its final stages of construction and is expected to be completed by the end of November. Furthermore, 17 out of the total 19 pillars on the first floor have been installed, and it is anticipated that the first floor will also have a roof by December 15.
