'Ram temple will be complete by December'
Earlier in June, Chairman of the Ram temple Construction Committee Nripendra Mishra expressed the hope that the construction of the Ram temple will be completed by December. He said marble from Rajasthan will be used in making the 'Ram Darbar' and the seven temples. Four sculptors have been shortlisted for this work, he added. The idol of Ram Lalla was consecrated at the Ayodhya temple on January 22, a landmark event led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi who also gave a clarion call to go beyond the grand temple's construction to build the foundation of a "strong, capable and divine" India of the next 1,000 years.
