Ram Temple Construction Origins
The genesis of the Ram temple construction dates back to the historic Supreme Court verdict in 2019, settling the decades-long Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid dispute in Ayodhya. The court allotted 2.77 acres of land to the temple trust for construction, bringing an end to the 7-decade-old conflict. Additionally, 5 acres of land were allocated to the Muslim side for the construction of a mosque. This landmark decision paved the way for the construction of the Ram temple, sparking widespread joy across the nation.
Estimated Ram Temple Construction Cost
The estimated cost of the Ram temple construction stands at approximately Rs 1800 crore. Reports indicate that from February 5, 2020, to March 31, 2023, approximately Rs 900 crore has already been spent on the construction process. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone on August 5, 2020, marking the commencement of the three-story temple's construction. The culmination of this monumental effort will be witnessed on January 22, with the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla in the presence of PM Modi.
