The history of Sri Ram Mandir is lengthy. Hindus hold that there existed a splendid temple that was superior to other temples on the site where Lord Sri Ram was born. Numerous ancient temples were destroyed when Babur invaded and ruled. His commander Mir Baki ordered the old Ram temple to be dismantled and a mosque to be built in its place.
Hindus had long called for the construction of a magnificent Ram temple on the site of the mosque following the fall of Mughal power in independent India. Both the municipal court and the high court occasionally received a large number of cases. When the locks of the temple were opened for prayers, it was under the administration of former Congress Prime Minister Rajeev Gandhi.
Who is the chief architect of Ram Mandir?
Ram Mandir’s principal architect is Chandrakant Sompura. The two sons of this well-known architect, Nikhil and Ashish, who are also well-known architects, will support him. The Sompura family has a lengthy history and has been involved in the construction of over 100 temples worldwide over the years. The holy temple will be built in the Nagar architectural style, and iron will not be used due to rusting.
Bhoomi Poojan of Ram Mandir
On August 5, 2020, an auspicious day, the Ram temple’s Bhoomi Poojan event took place. Ramcharan Puja, which invokes prominent gods and goddesses, was conducted on August 4.
