NEW DELHI: A crucial meeting of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is scheduled to be held on Saturday in Ayodhya, where several important decisions regarding temple operations and visitor arrangements are expected to be finalised.
Ahead of the meeting, Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman Nripendra Misra shared updates on the progress of the grand project, stating that construction is now in its final phase. The total expenditure on the temple complex is estimated to reach around Rs 1, 800 crore, reflecting the scale and ambition of the development.
One of the key issues likely to be discussed is the arrangements for darshan at the seven auxiliary temples within the complex. These include the Sapt Rishi temples located along the parikrama path, where access for devotees is expected to be opened after the upcoming Ram Navami celebrations.
The Trust is also expected to take a call on how religious ceremonies and events will be conducted going forward. Sources indicate that large-scale events may no longer be held in the temple premises, with a shift towards simpler and more traditional rituals. Flag-hoisting ceremonies at the seven temples are likely to be organised in a restrained manner, in keeping with the spiritual sanctity.
