Construction

In 1989 Kameshwar Chaupal was one of the first to lay the foundation stone for the temple.[7] A model of the proposed temple was showcased during the Prayag Kumbh Mela in 2019.[8] On 5 February 2020, it was announced in the parliament that the Union Council of Ministers had accepted a scheme to construct the temple.[9] The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust began the first phase of construction of the Ram Temple in March 2020.[10] The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India caused a temporary suspension of the construction.[11] During excavation of the construction site a Shivaling, pillars and broken idols were found.[12] On 25 March 2020 Lord Ram's idol was moved to a temporary location in the presence of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. On 26 May 2020 the construction process resumed.[13]

Architecture

The proposed temple will be 240 feet long and 145 feet wide. The temple complex will have a prayer hall, "a Ramkatha Kunj (lecture hall), a Vaidik Pathshala (educational facility), a Sant Niwas (saints residence) and a Yatri Niwas (hostel for visitors)" and other facilities like a museum and a cafeteria.[6]
