The Ram Mandir model will be chosen by the Trust.
Ayodhya: The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust has requested models for the statue of Ram Lalla (Lord Ram in the form of a child) for the under construction Ram temple in Ayodhya.
The Ram Mandir model will be chosen by the Trust.
Sculptor Sudarshan Sahoo and Vasudev Kamath of Odisha, K.V. Maniya of Karnataka, and Shashtrayajya Deulkar of Pune, according to trust members, will send models of the statue measuring nine to twelve inches.
“Stones from Maharashtra, Odisha, and Karnataka have been selected for preparing the idol of Ram Lalla,” said Champat Rai, general secretary of the Trust. The Trust will approve the stones once the deity model has been finalised.”
He stated that the statue’s height will be between 8.5 and nine feet so that the sun’s rays can fall on the deity.
The Trust has enlisted the help of top institutes in the country with expertise in architecture and building design to model the Ram temple sanctum sanctorum in such a way that sunlight falls on Ram Lalla’s forehead at 12 noon on every Ram Navmi, the day of the deity’s birth.
For this purpose, a team of experts from the CSIR-CBRI in Roorkee, the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Pune, and renowned temple architects has been assembled.
