Ayodhya Mosque Redesign: New Plan for Community Feedback
The group building the mosque in Ayodhya is changing its design.
They didn't get approval for their first plan, which looked like mosques in other countries.
Now, they are designing the mosque to look more like local buildings.
They want the community to like the new design.
They're also planning to build a museum on the land, dedicated to a historical figure.
They are asking the government to build a road to the mosque site.
IICF is redrafting the Ayodhya mosque design based on Awadhi and local architecture.
The new design will be submitted to the Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA) for approval.
The revised design considers the sentiments of the local community.
The original design was based on designs of Gulf countries.
A museum dedicated to Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah is also planned.
