Majestic Ram temple is open for the devotees
The Ram temple, designed in the traditional Nagara style, stands as a marvel at 380 feet in length, 250 feet in width, and a towering 161 feet in height. Chandrakant Sompura and his son Ashish are the creative minds behind this architectural wonder. Spanning 70 acres, with the main temple area covering 2.7 acres and a built-up area of 57,000 square feet, the entire structure, valued at Rs 1,800 crore, was financed by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.
