While the temple was thrown open to the public, a part of it is still incomplete. Talking about this, Ayodhya Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman, Nripendra Mishra, said the construction work in the temple will be restarting.
In an interaction with ANI, Mishra the resumption of construction activities at the temple. According to Mishra, the focus will be on completing the ‘parkota’ and the 795-meter ‘parikrama’ wall. Additionally, attention will be directed towards initiating the iconography work on the temple’s lower plinth. The most significant undertaking involves commencing the construction of the ‘darbar’ of Raja Ram on the first and second floors, which is scheduled to begin immediately. Mishra has outlined a timeline for the completion of this substantial task, stating that it is anticipated to be finished by December 2024.

Ram Mandir design
The entrance of the Mandir is situated on the eastern side, while the exit is positioned on the southern side. The architectural layout of the entire superstructure is planned to encompass three storeys, denoted as G+2.
Access to the main temple involves ascending 32 steps from the eastern side. The temple, designed in the traditional Nagara style, showcases impressive dimensions, measuring 380 feet in length (east-west direction), 250 feet in width, and towering at a height of 161 feet.
Each floor of the temple will reach a height of 20 feet and will be adorned with a remarkable total of 392 pillars and 44 gates. Noteworthy is the inclusion of a rectangular periphery known as ‘percota,’ a distinctive feature more commonly associated with South Indian temples rather than those in the northern regions. This addition lends a unique and grand character to the overall design of the temple.
The temple complex is meticulously planned to be “atmanirbhar” or self-reliant, incorporating essential facilities like sewage and water treatment plants, a fire brigade post, and a dedicated power line. This comprehensive approach not only underscores the ecological consciousness through the expansive green area but also ensures self-sufficiency by incorporating key infrastructure elements within the temple complex itself.
