Ram Mandir construction at Ayodhya in full speed: PM Modi
Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh), October 11: The grand Ram temple in Ayodhya, the foundation stone of which was placed in August 2020, is being built at full speed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Tuesday.
The darshan of Ram Lalla for devotees is expected to open in December 2023, while work on the Pilgrimage Facilitation Centre, other utilities, and infrastructure services in the complex is progressing quickly. According to the latest projections, the total construction cost of the temple and complex will be around Rs 1800 crore.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath laid the foundation stone for the Ram Temple's 'Garbha Griha,' or sanctum sanctorum, in June of this year.
The Supreme Court's five-judge Constitution bench, led by Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi (since retired), unanimously ruled on November 9, 2019, that the land in Ayodhya where the Babri Masjid formerly stood belongs to Ram Lalla.

"We are restoring the glory of spiritual places. Ujjain has been the centre of India's spiritual ethos. Ujjain is not just India's geographic centre but also the centre of the country's soul. There is nothing ordinary in the company of Lord Shiva. Everything is supernatural and extraordinary. Unforgettable, unbelievable," he added.
