Provision of ramps & lifts for differently-abled and elderly arrest. Things reached a climax in 1992 when a mob of Hindu activists outrageously demolished the Babri Masjid, marking the most turbulent times in the Ramjanmabhoomi
movement. In 2002, the Allahabad High Court began hearing the title case, and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) conducted excavations, claiming evidence of a Hindu temple beneath the mosque. The legal battle continued. The verdict of the Allahabad High Court in 2010 attempted to settle the dispute by dividing the land into three parts, each to be handed over to Hindus, Muslims, and the Nirmohi Akhara. However, the decision faced appeals and further legal challenges. Ultimately, the Supreme Court, in its historic judgement on November 9, 2019, concluded that the Babri Masjid was built on a “non-Islamic structure” and awarded the entire disputed land to Hindus for the construction of the Ram Mandir, through a government-constituted trust while allocating an alternate five-acre site for the construction of a mosque in Ayodhya. Subsequently, Shri Ram Janma Bhoomi Teerth Kshetra (SRJBTK) Trust paved the way for the construction of the Ram Mandir, bringing a semblance of closure to a protracted legal saga. Prime Minister Mr. Modi laid the foundation stone for a grand Ram Mandir on the birthplace of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya on August 5, 2020. It took more than three years to complete the construction of the substantive part of the grand Ram Mandir to facilitate the Pran Pratishtha .The grand dimensions and intricate details of the Ram Mandir design can be summed up as a blend of artistic vision and traditional architectural prowess. Around 550 temples across India were studied to find the best possible architectural design for the Ram Mandir. Spread over 2.7 acres of land, the temple is built in the Nagara architectural style, which was historically developed to build Hindu temples in northern India. The entire temple has been built using traditional construction materials such as stones, granite, teakwood and special bricks, altogether avoiding the use of steel or iron. A 14-metre thick layer of roller-compacted concrete, looking like an artificial rock, has been used to construct the temple’s foundation. A 21-foot-high plinth of granite has been built for protection against ground moisture. The 360-foot long, 235-foot wide and 161-feet high main temple is a three-story structure, with each story designed to give the devotees an experience of the various stages of Lord Ram’s divine journey. The ground floor depicts the story of the birth and childhood of Lord Ram, while the first floor is like Lord Ram’s Darbaar. The temple consists of five mandaps or halls: Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Sabha Mandap, Prarthna and Kirtan Mandaps. The temple has 392 pillars and 44 doors, some of which will be coated with gold. The main entrance is called the Singh Dwar, which features a series of statues and busts of prominent characters from Ramayan. The pillars and walls are adorned with statues of deities and intricate carvings depicting India’s century- old history. All along the parikrama path, 100 events from Valmiki’s Ramayan have been engraved on the walkways and columns. The idea is to present Ram Katha Darshan. The new idol, installed in the Garbh Griha or sanctum sanctorum of the temple, depicts the deity as a five-year-old Ram Lalla in a standing posture. The 51-inch idol, sculpted by Mysuru-based fifth-generation sculptor Mr. Arun Yogiraj, is made of black stone. All the idols, including this one, have been carved out of 60-million-year-old Shaligram Rocks from the 4 taki River in Nepal. The bell weighing 2,100 kg is men abradhatu (Gold, Silver, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Tin, den percusy). The sound of the bell can be heard up to a urtice of 15 km. The Ram Mandir is surrounded by a 732-metre long and 14-feet wide rectangular compound wall called Parkota. The temple complex consists of several other religious structures. One temple has been built at each of the four corners of the compound, dedicated to Surya Dev, Devi Bhagwati, Ganesh Bhagwan and Lord Shiva. Maa Annapurna’s temple is on the northern arm, while the southern arm is adorned with a Lord Hanuman temple. Temple dedicated to Maharishi Vashishtha, Maharishi Valmiki, Maharishi Vishwamitra, Maharishi Agastya, Nishad Raj, Devi Ahilya and Mata Shabri are also proposed to be built within the temple complex. Kuber Tila is located in the southwestern part of the complex. The ancient temple of Lord Shiva, located in this part, has been restored. Also, a bronze idol of the Ramayan character ‘Jatayu’ has been installed here. A time capsule has been placed approximately 2,000 feet below the ground, right underneath the temple, containing a copper plate inscribed with relevant information regarding the Ram Mandir, Lord Ram and Ayodhya. The temple is an earthquake-resistant structure with an estimated age of 2,500 years. The temple has been constructed entirely using India’s traditional and indigenous technology. Advanced digital documentation techniques, including 3D mapping and virtual reality, have been employed to preserve the construction process and details. Special emphasis has been put on eco-friendly practices in the temple. Almost 70% of the temple complex area has been left green. The use of locally-sourced materials and energy-efficient design elements aims at ensuring sustainability and minimising environmental impact.What is the Nagara style of architecture which behoves the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya? Originating from the Hindi word ‘Nagar’, meaning Town or city, the Nagara architectural style is the central Hindu temple architecture in North India or the region between the Vindhyas and the Himalayas. From the prototypes that existed in the 6th century, the North Indian temple architecture fully evolved and emerged in the 8th century with distinct variations in Odisha, Central India, Rajasthan and Gujarat. The historic Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, which was inaugurated through the consecration ceremony on January 22, 2024, has also been designed and built in the Nagara style, keeping all specifications of the Shilpa Shastra-a sacred text encompassing a wide range of subjects such as architecture, sculpture, iconography, and temple designing and construction-in mind. The Nagara-style Hindu temples are characterised by their distinctive Shikhar, a superstructure, tower, or spire above the garbhagriha (“womb-room”), a small sanctuary housing the main idol or emblem of the temple deity. On plan, they consist of a square garbhagriha preceded by one or more adjoining pillared mandapas (porches or halls) connected to the sanctum sanctorum by an open or closed vestibule (antarala). The entrance doorway of the sanctum sanctorum is usually richly decorated with figures of river goddesses and bands of floral, figural and geometric ornamentation. An ambulatory is sometimes provided around the sanctum sanctorum. The shikhara is usually curvilinear in outline, and smaller rectilinear shikharas also frequently top the mandapas. The whole set-up may be raised on a terrace (jagati) with attendant shrines at the corners. The centre of each side of the square sanctum sanctorum is subjected to a graduated series of projections, creating a characteristic cruciform plan. The exterior walls are usually decorated with sculptures of mythological and semi-divine figures, with the main images of the deities placed in niches carved on the main projections. The interior is also frequently richly carved, particularly the coffered ceilings, which are supported by pillars of varying design. One typical form of the Nagara style is seen in the early temples in Odisha, such as the graceful 8th-century Parashurameshvara Temple and 11th-century Lingaraja Temple at Bhubaneswar. In its most developed form, the Nagara style appears in Khajuraho, as seen in the Kandarya Mahadeva Temple in Madhya Pradesh.
