Ayodhya Ram temple set to welcome devotees in 2024
The Ram temple in Ayodhya will be opened to devotees in January 2024 after the installation of idols of the deity, said Trust general secretary Champat Rai on Tuesday. Talking to the media along with other office bearers of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, Rai said 50 percent of the construction work of the temple has been completed and the overall progress is satisfactory.
“The temple will be opened to devotees in January 2024 after the installation of idols of Ram Lalla in the sanctum sanctorum of the shrine on the festival of Makar Sankranti,” said Rai. He said the ground floor of the temple will be ready by December next year and around January 14, 2024, idols of Lord Ram will be installed.
“An estimated Rs.1,800 crore will be spent on building the Ram temple,” Rai said, adding that space will be made for idols of prominent Hindu seers.

A group of journalists was on Tuesday taken to the elevated place from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi had on Sunday inspected the construction work of the temple. Modi performed the “Bhoomi Pujan” for the construction of the temple on August 5, 2020.
According to the plan, temples of Valmiki, Kewat, Shabari, Jatayu, Sita, Vighneshwar (Ganesh), and Sheshavatar (Lakshman) will also be constructed within a 70-acre area in the vicinity of the Ram temple. A rectangular, two-storeyed ‘Parikrama‘ road is also being constructed, enclosing a total of eight acres of land including the area of the temple and its courtyard. In its eastern part, there will be an entrance made of sandstone. White marble from the Makrana hills in Rajasthan will be used inside the sanctum sanctorum of the temple.
A few days ago, Champat Rai tweeted the final plan of the Ram Mandir from different angles:
निर्माण कार्य पूरा होने के बाद अयोध्या जी में ऐसा दिखेगा प्रभु श्री राम लला का मंदिर। pic.twitter.com/XmcWrAbwWV

Modi’s visit to Ayodhya on October 23 was the first after he laid the foundation stone two years back. After offering prayers to Ram Lalla at the makeshift temple, the Prime Minister reviewed the progress of the construction work. The opening of the temple for devotees at the beginning of 2024 is seen as politically important too as the Lok Sabha elections are scheduled for later that year.
