Ayodhya, September 17: Neary one year after 'Bhoomi Pujan', Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust informed that the foundation work for the Ram temple in Ayodhya has been completed and the foundation work has been filled with the final, 48th layer of roller-compacted concrete.

"The first phase has been completed. We will be setting up another layer made up of stones--Karnataka's granite and Mirzapur's sandstone--over this concrete base," Champat Rai, general secretary of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, said.
 
 
 
Officials of the trust said that the construction work which started in 2020 is expected to be ready by December 2023. They further added that temple will be open for devotees just before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
 
 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 5, 2020, laid the foundation of the temple after a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court paved the way for the construction of a Ram Temple by a Trust at the disputed site at Ayodhya in 2019.
 
 
The temple complex is being built by Larsen & Toubro while Tata Consulting Engineers has been signed on as the project management consultant. It is expected to incur a cost of ₹900-1,000 crore and will be spread over 110 acres of land.
 
The temple complex will include a pilgrim facilitation centre, museum, archives, research centre, auditorium, a cattle shed, a place for rituals, an administrative building, and rooms for priests.
