Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Misra stated that the construction work of the temple complex is likely to be completed by April 2025. He also mentioned that the work will be affected due to Holi. In 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the rituals at the Pran Pratishta ceremony of the Lord Ram Temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya on January 22. The temple has been built in the traditional Nagara style. Its length (east-west) is 380 feet, width is 250 feet, and height is 161 feet. It is supported by a total of 392 pillars and 44 doors.
Speaking to ANI, Nripendra Misra mentioned that, “Holi will affect the progress of the work as many workers will go home for the festival. Today we hope that the statue of Goswami Tulsidas will come to our premises and it is expected to be installed by tomorrow… About 20,000 cubic feet of stone is yet to be laid in the temple. The construction of the temple will be completed by around 15 April.”
Further he mentioned that, “All of the statues in the temples that are outside or inside the rampart will be here by 30 April, and almost all of them will be installed between 25 March and 15 April.”
Previously in January, he mentioned that the work will be completed by March 2025. He said that, “We carried out a review yesterday. The temple (complex) construction will be concluded on the scheduled date, in March. Ram Darbaar will be set up on the first floor within this duration only. The works for establishing murtis of idols (iconography) will also be completed in this duration.”
Misra mentioned that, “Approximately 20 acres of land will be beautified to remain in tune with nature. We are facing challenges to work on Parkota, which is the parikrama marg of the temple.”
