Ayodhya Ram Temple: Gold Use and Restricted Public Access
The Ram Temple in Ayodhya is using a lot of gold, about 45 kilograms, which is worth a lot of money.
This gold is used for decoration.
Right now, it's difficult for people to visit the Ram Darbar because of ongoing construction and crowd control measures.
More areas are still being built and will be ready by the end of the year, but devotees are eager to visit, despite the heat and long lines.
Authorities plan to open it to the public after the rainy season when it’s easier to manage the crowds.
45 kilograms of gold, worth Rs 50 crore, used in Ayodhya Ram Temple.
Gold work continues in Sheshavatar Temple.
Ram Darbar consecrated on the first floor.
Public access is restricted due to ongoing construction and crowd management.
Auxiliary facilities including museums and guest accommodations are expected to be finished by the end of the year.
