On January 22, 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will dedicate the Ayodhya Ram Temple. The idol of Ram Lalla will be placed in the temple's sanctum sanctorum (garbha- griha) during the pran-partisha (consecration) ceremony. On the other hand, starting on January 24, devotees will be able to enter the magnificent shrine.

Background of Ayodhya Ram Mandir

The Ayodhya Ram Temple, one of the largest temples constructed in India following independence, is hailed for fusing traditional Indian customs with cutting-edge technology.

The Mughal monarch Babur erected the Babri Masjid between 1528 and 1529. However, Hindus also claimed that they were the rightful owners of the site, claiming that it was the birthplace of Lord Ram.

After then, the location became contested, and a protracted legal conflict started. On November 9, 2019, the Supreme Court resolved the title dispute by recognising the 2.77 acres of contested land as Lord Ram's birthplace, opening the door for the Ram Mandir's construction.

Ayodhya Temple's dimensions and seating

The temple space is 54,700 square feet, or around 2.7 acres of land. With a total area of around 70 acres, the Ram Mandir Complex would have enough space to accommodate one million worshippers at a time.

Building material used for Ayodhya Ram Mandir: Bansi Paharpur Sandstone

The Rajasthan Bansi Paharpur stone, a rare pink marble stone prized for its beauty and resilience, will be carved to shape the Ram Mandir's superstructure. In total, four lakh square feet of stone will be required.

The pink and red Bansi Paharpur Sandstone can be found in the Bayana Tehsil of the Bharatpur District in Rajasthan. In 2021, the centre reversed the mining ban imposed in2016 and granted in principle approval to turn 398 hectares of protected forestland into revenue land for the purpose of mining pink sandstone in the Band Baretha Wildlife Sanctuary in Bharatpur.

The Akshardham Temple, the Parliament Complex, and the Lal Quila of Agra are just a few of the magnificent buildings in the nation that have been built using Bansi Pahadpur Sandstone. The Ram Mandir would be built without the use of bricks or steel.

Interior Specifications of Ayodhya Ram Mandir

The dimensions of the proposed temple are 360 feet long, 235 feet wide, and 161feet high. The temple will rise to a height three times greater than the highest structure still standing in the old city.

Style 

Chandrakant Bhai Sompura, whose grandfather Prabhakarji Sompura and father Ashish Sompura built the Somnath Temple, is the temple's chief architect. The 79-year-oldarchitect was assigned the position in 1992.

According to Sompura, the Ram Mandir is being constructed in the Nagara style, by the precepts of Vastu Shastra. The east entrance would be designed in the Gopuram architectural style, which is typical of the southern temples. The walls of the temple would be decorated with artwork depicting the life of Lord Ram.

Form

The mandir's sanctorum would have an octagonal shape, while its perimeter would be circular.

Levels

The mandir will have one 161-foot-tall tower and five domes. The three-story temple's center piece, Garbh Griha, is designed to let sunlight shine on the idol of Ram Lalla, the Lord's newborn incarnation. The Griha Mandap, like the sanctorum, would be entirely covered, but the Keertan Mandap, Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, and the two Prarthana Mandaps on either side would remain open spaces.

Idol of Ram Lalla

There willbe two Lord Ram idols. One will be the real idol, which has been in the tentfor decades since being discovered in 1949. Another will be a massive figurethat can be seen for a long way, according to Jagdish A fle, project manager of the Ram Mandir construction work.

Ayodhya Ram Mandir's Effect on Real Estate. 

According to local real estate brokers and dealers, land prices in and around Ayodhya have increased by up to ten times in the last ten years.

Following the Supreme Court's decision, land that was purchased in the city for lakhs of dollars before to the announcement of the temple's construction became worth crores. Rates have increased further as large developers have shown interest in the area, putting the city on par with the state capital Lucknow, to put it mildly," says Lal Babu Pandey, an Ayodhya resident who was previously limited to a part-time real estate dealer.

According to Pandey, his interest in land has grown to the point where he now works on it full-time, earning enough money to sustain his family.

A buyer will have to pay at least Rs 2,000 per square foot, and prices may go as high as Rs18,000 per square foot, to locate a property piece within a 5–10 km radius of the temple. Commercial properties can be purchased for as little as Rs 4,000 or as much as Rs 20,000 per square foot. In certain areas, the cost of a biswa of land has increased to almost Rs 60 lakh from Rs 5 lakh in 2018.
