Ayodhya Ram Mandir Construction: Gold Used and Access Plan
The new Ram Mandir in Ayodhya used a lot of gold, about 45 kilograms worth around 50 crore rupees, for the doors and the throne of Lord Ram.
Right now, only a few people can visit the Ram Darbar, which is a special place in the temple.
You need a free pass to get in.
The temple is still being finished, with things like a museum and auditorium planned to be done by late 2025.
The temple leaders are working on a plan for more people to visit in the future, but it will take some time.
They're also building an elevator to help elderly visitors.
45kg of gold, worth approximately Rs 50 crore, was used in construction.
Gold is used extensively in the doors and the throne of Lord Ram.
Controlled public access to the Ram Darbar is in place, with free passes required.
Construction of other parts of the temple complex is expected to be completed by December 2025.
The flag hoisting on the temple's shikhara is likely in October or November.
