The Ram temple complex will provide multiple facilities for pilgrims, devotees, sadhus, and sants and is arranging to manage the daily flow of 500,000
Ram Temple will be ready for Dashan in December 2023. The idols of Garbhagriha and Ram Lalla will be opened in the 110-acre Ram temple complex near Ayodhya. According to sources, the entire temple complex will be completed sometime in 2025.
Substantial progress made
One year after Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation on August 5 last year, the huge structure of the temple, which is the most difficult to establish a stable foundation, is about to be completed. `Due to the site's history, the ground is precarious, and deep debris poses an engineering challenge. People familiar with the matter said the first months were studying the soil and finding the best possible method to build a stable foundation for the temple.
Challenge
must first excavate this earth and dig 15 meters (45 feet) deep to remove about four layers of debris and unstable soil underground. To understand the scale of the operation, 100 to 140 trucks extract a total of 7 million tons of soil from the site every day.
The trust decided to take into account the ancestral heritage; the temple will have a stone building. With this in mind, the task of the expert committee is to find materials that can be a good substitute for stone in terms of excavation bases. Experts devised a formula for a mix of fly ash and concrete-based compression engineering to fill the excavation site. The material was tested for strength in the IIT Chennai Civil Engineering Laboratory and was approved by the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI). Through layers of '8 inches per layer and 44 layers, the entire excavation site was filled with engineering mix, and the base to place the base will be ready in September. The foundation is strong enough to withstand the unpredictability of nature, including earthquakes over the centuries.
Science
Two agencies conducted soil studies to test structural stability. At the same time, CSINGRI has researched ancient river channels and seismic disasters. Institutions such as IIT-Delhi, IIT-Bombay, IITMadras, IITGuwahati, CBRIRoorkee, SVNITSurat, etc. participated in these studies.
Ancient aesthetics, modern technology
Except for the mixture of aggregates used in the excavation base, the entire temple only uses the pahad Bansi Rajasthan stone structure area. As the National Green Court temporarily banned quarrying at the site, the trust fund also faced challenges. This caused some delays, but fortunately, the issue was resolved when the Supreme Court lifted the ban and started buying a stone. Furthermore, in keeping with the sentiment of the Ram Temple movement, the stone pillars that have been built for the past three years will be properly incorporated into the new structure.
Another decision made by the Ram Temple Trust was not to use steel to respect the heritage of ancient design. Therefore, the connection of the stone pillars of the temple will be made with copper. Another ancient aesthetic that will be included in the design is that on Ram Navami's day, at noon, the sun's rays would shine directly on the idol. This feature already exists in many historical temples in India, including the temples of the sun in Modra (Gujarat) and Konak (Odisha), and a team of scientists and astronomers have been consulted to bring this ancient cultural and scientific heritage. From India. It's included.
Read | Uttar Pradesh: Sources say that the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will be open to believers in December 2023. The saints provide various facilities and are making arrangements to manage the daily flow of pilgrims up to 500,000 during festivals like Ram Navami. Ayodhya is likely to become a new pilgrimage center for believers from across the country. All infrastructure inside and outside the temple complex will be developed with the number of tourists in mind. To make room for all infrastructure, in addition to the 67 acres acquired after the Supreme Court order in November 2019, the Temple Trust is acquiring more than 40 acres of additional land. Administrative buildings, archive centers, research centers, and saints' facilities, except for pilgrims.
Ramayana Museum
A committee led by the famous supercomputer scientist Dr. Vijay Bhatkar, with the assistance of the Ministry of Science and Technology, is building a museum that will incorporate high-tech equipment to attract young and global audiences. An advanced museum showing the life and times of Lord Ram, including the contemporary conditions of the spread of the Ram story around the world, will be a unique feature of the Ram Temple complex. It will demonstrate the global influence of Ramayana and Ramkata through the use of digital technology.
The Story of Lord Ram
There are carvings on the walls, pillars, and other areas of the Ram Temple complex, which narrate the life of Lord Ram. The committee of saints is deciding which stories.
