Ram Temple: Why was the temple built on only 2.7 acres when there is 72 acres of land?

Ram Temple: Why was the temple built on only 2.7 acres when there is 72 acres of land?

Today marks the completion of the process of consecrating the Lord Rama idol in Ayodhya.

 At Ayodhya, guests and saints have come.  For their temporary residence, the Rama Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra Trust has established Tirtha Kshetra Puram.

 This Theertha Kshetra Puram will be overseen by Kodeeswara Sharma, Joint Secretary of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

 He has spent more than thirty years being connected to Ayodhya.

He claimed to be actively involved in the planning for the dedication of the Ram idol and to be closely watching the construction of the Ram temple.

In this instance, Koteeswara Sharma has discussed the building of the Ram temple, some of its features, and the choice of the Ram statue.

Can you elaborate on the architectural design features of Ayodhya Ram Temple?

1991 saw the construction of a model of this temple, overseen by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad.  In accordance, sculptures were carved.  Subsequently, the temple was constructed by the trust, but with some slight alterations to the initial design.

 Additionally, the river Sarayu ran close to Lord Rama's birthplace almost 2,000 years ago.  There is still subsurface flow to that river.

 This temple's foundation is designed to last a millennium and to resist earthquakes.

Why is the temple built in a corner of 2.7 acres, even though the Rama Janmabhoomi Tirtha Shetra Trust owns 72 acres?

There has been no construction during the entire vacancy.  It is stated that these 72 acres in a southwest direction are where Lord Rama was born.  There, a temple is being constructed.  There will be more temples and sub-temples constructed here in addition to this one.

 First, the temple is the focal point of the structures.

 The Trust will construct the Museum, Annadhana Mandapam, and Yatra amenities at the remaining location.
