The auspicious Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla will be conducted in the Ayodhya Ram temple tomorrow, January 22. Ahead of the pran pratishtha ceremony, let us know about Ayodhya Ram Temple’s construction and its architecture.
The Ayodhya temple has been constructed in ancient India’s Nagara style. The grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya is a marvelous projection of Indian traditional heritage, and it was designed by celebrated architect Chandrakant B. Sompura, with the help of his son Ashish, and incorporated his vision, which he outlined 30 years ago.
The temple stands on 2.7 acres of land, is 161 feet tall and 235 feet wide, and has a total length of 360 feet. The built-up area of the temple is 57,000 square feet and is a three-floor structure. The temple is built upon 300 pillars across the mandapas, and 44 teak doors were installed.
In fact, the very best quality granite, sandstone, and marble have been used, and there is no use of cement or lime mortar in the joints. However, the insides of the sanctum sanctorum were decorated using Makrana marble.
