Engineering and construction conglomerate Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Sunday announced that it has designed and built the Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The much-awaited consecration of the Ram temple will take place on Monday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the rituals, following which the shrine will be opened to the public a day later.
In line with the mandate of the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Larsen & Toubro successfully designed and constructed the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Temple, thereby setting a new milestone in architectural grandeur, the construction company said in a statement.
The temple sits within a 70-acre complex, with its design rooted in the ancient Nagara architectural style. Built to last for a thousand years, the temple measures 161.75 feet in height, 380 feet in length and 249.5 feet in width.
It will be a three-storey temple comprising five mandaps – Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Gudh Mandap, Kirtan Mandap and Prarthana Mandap – along with the main Shikar.
“By designing and constructing the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir, we express our sincere gratitude to the government…,” said L&T Chairman and Managing Director SN Subrahmanyan.
