Ram Mandir Trust by the direction of Supreme court is about to start construction of temple. The Trust has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of temple.
The ceremony will be in Ayodhya either on August 3 or 5 said spokesperson.
On Saturday the trust first firm formal meeting held in Ayodhya and the members decided a possible date for starting construction work of the temple.
The construction earlier was delayed because of coronavirus pandemic.
On February 5, PM Modi had declared the formation of Lord Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust.
“We have suggested two auspicious dates — August 3 and 5 — for the prime minister’s visit based on calculations of movements of stars and planets,” Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, the spokesperson of Trust’s president Nritya Gopal Das, was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
Supreme court in November 19 ruled that the disputed land in Ayodhya would be given to government run trust for construction of the temple. While 5 acre suitable plot were allotted to Muslim community.
Kameshwar Chaupal, one of the 15 members of the Trust, said construction will start when the Prime Minister deems it fit after considering the situation in the country, on the border and the pandemic.
“The entire country is of the opinion that it the bhoomi pujan should be done by the Prime Minister,” he said.
“Larsen and Toubro is taking samples of soil from a depth of 60 feet below the ground, and based on the report of the sample and strength of the soil, drawings for the foundation of the temple will be made. Where the load will be less i.e. east, the sample will be taken from a depth of 40 feet,”Champat Rai, general secretary of the Trust said.
