New Delhi: The Ram Janmabhoomi Trust, overseeing the construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, met in New Delhi on Thursday and decided that traditional techniques will be adopted to build the temple.
“The Mandir will be built by adhering to India’s ancient and traditional construction techniques. It will also be built in a way to sustain earthquakes, storms and other natural calamities. Iron won’t be used in the construction of the Mandir,” the Trust informed.
“Engineers from CBRI Roorkee, IIT Madras along with L&T are now testing the soil at the mandir site. Construction work is expected to finish in 36-40 months,” the Trust tweeted.
The Trust has also urged devotees to donate copper plates, saying that they can engrave family names, place of origin or their community temples’ names on these plates.
“For Mandir construction, copper plates will be used to fuse stone blocks with each other. The plates should be 18 inches long, 30 mm wide & 3 mm in depth… 10,000 such plates may be required in all for the structure.”
