January 27, 2022 18:19

The third phase of the construction of the Ram temple began at Ramjanmabhoomi in Ayodhya on January 24 with the laying of the granite stones for the plinth.

With a view to achieving strength, other physical and chemical features and consequent longevity, the work of plinth with granite stone has begun.

Keeping in mind the Temple life of thousand years and beyond, it was decided to use the strongest natural granite of southern India.

About 17,000 stones of size 5 feet x 2.5 feet x 3 feet are being used in the construction of the plinth of the temple.

The weight of each stone is approximately 2.50 tons.

The activity of laying of granite stone is likely to be completed by May 2022.

Digital instrumentation is being used to monitor the safety parameters of the temple.

Data of these instruments will be used to study the behaviour of the structure in respect of loading, earthquake, etc.

The master plan for the entire campus outside Parkota has been finalised and approved by statutory authorities.

It includes pilgrimage facilitation centre, museum, archives, research centre, auditorium, gaushala, yagya shala and administrative building.

Detailing of design and utility services are under progress and the construction work of buildings other than temple will also be started by April 2022. -- ANI
