Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust's general secretary Champat Rai on 7 March said that the construction of the grand temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya is likely to be completed in three years.
Rai said that the temple will be built in about two and a half acres of land and a wall will be built around it, which is called Parkota. He said that retaining walls will be built inside the ground to prevent the effects of floods.

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.
