As the highly anticipated consecration ceremony of Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir approaches on January 22, 2024, the spotlight is on the sacred Garbhagriha or Sanctum Sanctorum, where the idol of the infant form of Lord Shri Ram (Shri Ram Lala) will reside. Recently revealed by the Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, the premises of the temple provide a glimpse of the meticulous construction and traditional design that pays homage to Indian heritage.
The temple, constructed using indigenous techniques and environmental conservation practices, stands as a testament to the cultural significance of the project. Pink sandstone from Rajasthan’s Bansi Paharpur village has been sculpted to create intricate idols of elephants, lions, Hanuman Ji, and Garuda, adorning the entrance gate.
