The construction of a grand temple on Ram Janmabhoomi has started from today (26 May), announced Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust chairman Mahant Nritya Gopal Das.
The Mahant made this announcement after performing a puja at the newly built makeshift temple structure which now houses the Ram Lalla idol. This new structure built out of fibre and is located at Manas Bhawan.
Earlier the work on removing debris and land levelling was underway at the site. It was during this process that a five-foot Shivaling, seven pillars of black touchstone, six pillars of red sandstone and broken idols of Devi-Devtas were discovered.
Also, the lockdown and the Corona crisis have not prevented devotees of Lord Ram from making donations to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust, which is responsible for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
A sum of Rs 4.60 crore has been deposited in the two accounts of the trust during the lockdown period.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
