Ram Mandir construction work begins today in Ayodhya

New Delhi: The construction work of Ram mandir in Ayodhya started today. Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust chairman Mahant Nritya Gopal Das on Tuesday paid obeisance to deity Ram Lalla at the makeshift temple.

Ahead of the start of the construction work, the Mahant, who also headed the Ram Janambhoomi Nyas, performed puja today morning.

After 27 years, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on March 25 attended a ceremony at the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya when the deity Ram Lalla was relocated from the makeshift temple to a pre-fabricated one within the premises.

Ram Lalla, the presiding deity of the Ram Janmabhoomi, was shifted from sanctum sanctorum of the temple after 27 years (December 6, 1992).

On the occasion, members of the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust were also present.

The deity was shifted in a palanquin from the makeshift temple on an auspicious time decided by priests. The chief minister was among four people who carried this palanquin to new location which is few metres from the existing makeshift temple.
