Ayodhya-style Ram Temple Planned Near Babri Mosque Replica
A new temple is being built in Shantipur, West Bengal, about 90 km from a place where a replica of the Babri Mosque is being constructed.
This temple will look like the one in Ayodhya but will have a statue of Lord Ram as described in a old Bengali book called Krittivasi Ramayan.
The people who are building this temple started planning it in 2017, and they will put the first stone in February.
This is happening just before some big elections in the area.
An Ayodhya-style Ram Temple is being constructed in Shantipur, Nadia district, West Bengal.
The temple will feature a depiction of Lord Ram as described in the Krittivasi Ramayan.
The Sri Krittibas Ram Mandir Trust is overseeing the construction.
The foundation stone-laying ceremony is planned for February.
The temple is located about 90 km from a Babri Mosque replica in Beldanga.
