Ayodhya Ram Temple’s Architectural Marvels: Murals, Idols and Design Elements

Murals and Titanium Lattices

The museum at the temple will display 85 murals. Work has started on 60 murals, and 21 have been completed, including six murals of Ram. New titanium lattices are being built for the Parikrama on the ground and first floors.

Ram Darbar

The Ram Darbar will feature 4.5-foot-tall marble idols of Lord Ram, Mata Sita, Lord Hanuman, and Lord Ram’s brothers Bharat, Lakshman, and Shatrughan on the first floor. Lord Ram and Mata Sita will sit on a gold-plated throne, with Hanuman and Bharat at their feet and Lakshman and Shatrughan standing behind them. The idols, made of white Makrana marble from Rajasthan, will be inspected in Jaipur by the first week of January. Digging has also started for the pool in the centre of the temples inside the complex.

Ramayana in Multiple Languages

The temple’s second floor will show the Ramayana in several languages, including its oldest version. However, these plans may change.

Exploring the Ground Floor, Shikhar and Six Smaller Temples

Rampart

The rampart, which surrounds the temple complex, is almost finished. It extends about one kilometre and includes six smaller temples. Out of the 840,000 cubic feet of stone needed, 300,000 cubic feet remain to be installed.

The Six Temples

Six temples are under construction in the area: Shiv Mandir, Surya Mandir, Durga Mata Mandir, Ganpati Mandir, Annapurna Mandir, and Hanuman Mandir. Some are taking shape, while construction on others is progressing quickly.

Shikhar

The first layer of stones for the Shikhar of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir will be laid on October 11, 2024, marking Ashwin Shukla Navami and Vikram Samvat 2081.

Four Gates of Ram Temple

The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Construction Committee has asked to name the four gates, located in the north and south of the temple, after respected saints of Ayodhya.

Ground Floor of Ayodhya Ram Mandir

The ground floor has 160 pillars.
It shows the birth and childhood of Lord Rama.
The temple uses granite, sandstone, and marble but does not use iron or steel.
The foundation was improved with modern engineering to handle the sandy and unstable soil.

Pran Pratishtha

Shri Ram Lalla’s ‘Pran Pratishtha’ at the historic temple in Ayodhya took place on January 22 this year. Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the Vedic rituals led by a group of priests.

 Nripendra Mishra, chairman of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Construction Committee, announced the completion of the Ayodhya Ram Temple by June 2025 (excluding ramparts and shoe racks, slated for September 2025).
