AYODHYA: The Ram temple in Ayodhya will be earthquake-resistant and sturdy enough to last over 1,000 years, said the members of the temple trust which invited mediapersons on Tuesday for an on-site inspection. They expressed satisfaction over the pace of construction work and hoped that it would be opened for devotees by January 2024.
The temple is being constructed without using iron bars. Instead of iron, copper chips are being used to join stones, they said. The earthquake-resistant temple will have 392 pillars and 12 doors. The entire compound will have five temples.
