The final design of the Ram Temple features five domes instead of the initial two, to accommodate a larger number of devotees. A shikhara or tower is planned to be constructed above the sanctum sanctorum, adding to the height and grandeur of the temple. The idols of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, and Hanuman are being carved with meticulous detail, using traditional methods.
Devotees will be allowed to enter the temple from January 24, 2024 onwards. The temple complex will also include a museum, library, research center, and other facilities, making it a vibrant spiritual and cultural hub.
