NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will lay the foundation stone of Ayodhya Ram temple’s ‘garbha griha’ on June 1. The ‘garbha griha’ is the sanctum sanctorum, the innermost sanctuary of a Hindu temple where the idol of the primary deity of the temple resides.
Speaking to ANI, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sources from the state said, “The UP CM will be there to lay the foundation stone of the ‘garbha griha’. It is a very big and auspicious thing for the devotees of Lord Ram. Along with CM, many other ministers and UP leaders will be present”.
“Ram Mandir construction work is moving at a fast pace. As we promised, we will complete the Ram Lalla floor by end of 2023,” he added.
The construction work of the Ram Mandir began on August 5, 2020, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi laying the foundation stone.
Earlier, the temple authority added that by December 2023, the temple’s lower floor, which will house the sanctum sanctorum and a Ram Lalla idol, will be ready for worship. (ANI)
