The Ayodhya Ram Temple Construction Committee is entrusted to construct the Ram Temple. The Temple Construction Committee Chairman said that construction work at the temple is kicking off once again after the Pran Pratishtha ceremony.
"Construction work is beginning at the temple once again. Work on the 'parkota' has to be completed; work on the 795-metre 'parikrama' wall will be completed," Mr Mishra said.
"Besides this, the work of the iconography on the temple's lower plinth will also be started," he added.
Mr Mishra inspected the temple building on Saturday, ahead of the first day of the temple construction meeting.
In the meeting, a plan will be made for the rapid completion of devotees' facilities and the construction of the second floor of the Ram temple.
