The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, constructed in the traditional Nagara style, stands as a magnificent testament to Hindu architecture. With a length of 380 feet, width of 250 feet, and height of 161 feet, the temple is supported by 392 pillars and adorned with 44 doors. The intricate sculptures on the pillars and walls depict Hindu deities and stories, creating a visually stunning representation of the faith.
The main sanctum sanctorum houses the idol of Shri Ramlalla, depicting the childhood form of Bhagwan Shri Ram. The Mandir boasts five halls, including Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Sabha Mandap, Prathana Mandap, and Kirtan Mandap. Additionally, the historic Well (Sita koop) and the restored ancient Mandir of Bhagwan Shiv at Kuber Tila add to the cultural richness of the complex.
As the Pran Pratishtha program concludes in the Garbha-Griha, all attendees will have the opportunity for darshan, marking a momentous occasion that brings together diverse traditions and celebrates the grandeur of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir.
