Ayodhya, October 27: The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has officially announced the completion of the entire construction work of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, including the sanctum sanctorum of Prabhu Shri Ramlalla.
In a post on social media platform X, the Trust stated, “It is with great joy that we inform all devotees of Prabhu Shri Ramlalla Sarkar that all Mandir construction work has been completed.”
The announcement marks a historic milestone in India’s cultural and spiritual journey, as the temple stands fully completed less than a year after the idol of Lord Ram was consecrated on January 22, 2024, in a grand ceremony attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
PM Modi Likely to Visit Ayodhya in November
According to official sources, Prime Minister Modi may visit Ayodhya on November 25, when a flag-hoisting ceremony is scheduled. Ahead of his possible visit, security arrangements at Ayodhya Airport were reviewed on Monday to ensure full preparedness.
Airport Director Dhirendra Singh said, “We ensure that there is no lapse in security in any way,” adding that a high alert has already been sounded in the city.
Yogi Adityanath Hails Completion as People’s Victory
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called the completion of the temple a moment of pride, crediting it to the unshakeable faith and devotion of the people.
"Just a few years ago, many believed the Ram Temple would remain a dream. But today, the grand temple stands completed, with Ayodhya regaining its ancient glory," he said while addressing a public event in Lakhimpur Kheri district.
Adityanath further added, “When Ram devotees raised their voices for the temple, many dismissed it as an impossible dream. But their determination and devotion have brought us to this historic moment.” He also mentioned that over six crore devotees visited Ayodhya Dham last year, compared to just a few lakh in previous years, and the numbers are expected to rise further.
Details of the Completed Structures
The main Ram Mandir and six additional temples within the Janmabhoomi complex are now complete. These shrines are dedicated to Mahadev, Ganesh Ji, Hanuman Ji, Suryadev, Maa Bhagwati, Maa Annapurna, and the Sheshavatar Mandir. The Trust confirmed that “flags and kalash (pinnacles) have been installed on all these temples.” Additionally, seven mandapas dedicated to Rishi Valmiki, Rishi Vashishtha, Rishi Vishwamitra, Rishi Agastya, Nishadraj, Shabari, and Devi Ahilya have been built. The Sant Tulsidas Mandir has also been completed, along with statues of Jatayu and the sacred Squirrel, symbolizing devotion and service to Lord Ram.
Landscaping and Remaining Work
Construction firm Larsen & Toubro (L&T) is currently completing the roadwork and stone flooring, while GMR is handling the landscaping, greenery, and Panchvati area development spread across 10 acres. The Trust mentioned that only non-public-related works remain pending, such as the 3.5-kilometre-long boundary wall, trust office, guest house, and auditorium.
A Spiritual Landmark for Bharat
