Today morning at 3 AM, Ram Lalla idol was shifted to the temporary temple. On Wednesday, Ram Lalla idol was placed on a 9.5 kg silver throne. Now the Ram Mandir will be constructed at the original ‘garbha gruh’.
In November 2019, in a historic verdict, the Supreme Court handed over the Ram Janmabhoomi site to the Hindus, paving way for the Ram Mandir. The Sunni Waqf Board will be given an alternate 5 acre land on which they could build a mosque should they wish. Earlier this year, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra trust was formed and Union Government made a symbolic donation of Re 1 to the trust.
