He confirmed that the construction of the temple’s core structure will be completed by early June, with remaining interior and structural works on track for completion by September–October this year.

 

“Preparations are complete, including essential works like waterproofing and repellency, which will continue as needed. However, the core construction of the main temple will be finalised, marking a historic milestone. The remaining construction within the temple premises is on track for completion by September–October, per the planned schedule,” he noted.

He added that major elements such as the Parakota and the Peshavatar Temple were close to completion, while the Sapt Mandir, housing seven pavilions and statues of revered sages, was already finished. The central Pushkarni water reservoir has also been completed. “By the end of 2025, all construction projects initiated in 2020 are expected to be fully realised,” he stated.

 

The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir, built in the traditional Nagara style, is a grand structure measuring 380 feet in length (east–west), 250 feet in width, and standing 161 feet tall. It is supported by 392 intricately carved pillars and 44 ornately designed doors. The temple’s walls and columns bear detailed depictions of Hindu deities.

 

The sanctum sanctorum on the ground floor already houses the idol of Shri Ram Lalla in his childhood form. Since the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in January, lakhs of devotees have been thronging the temple town. The daily footfall at the Hanumangarhi Ram Temple has also witnessed a significant rise.
