“Ram Mandir construction will be completed by June 5 this year. 99 per cent of the Mandir construction work has now been completed. The ‘Garbhagriha’, where Ram Lalla is enshrined, had already been completed earlier. However, the first and second floors and the shikhar (main spire) above were still under construction. Today, the Dhwajdand (Mandir Dhwaj Sthamb) has been installed atop the shikhar, which is essentially a symbolic declaration that the work on the shikhar is now complete. The overall construction of the Mandir is now nearly finished,” Mishra said.

The Chairman also noted that the Prime Minister had placed special emphasis on constructing seven Mandirs dedicated to sages and devotees associated with Bhagwan Ram, and that these Mandirs are now complete.
“These seven Mandirs are also now complete. The Mandirs of Maharishi Valmiki, Shri Vashisht ji, Vishwamitra ji, Ahilya ji, Nishadraj Maharaj, Shabari Mata, and Agastya Muni, located within the Mandir premises, will also be opened to the public after June 5. The worship rituals for the Ram Darbar and the six Mandirs built along the Parkota (outer boundary) will take place on June 5. Champat Rai ji will announce a detailed program for the June 5 ceremonies,” Mishra said.
He also mentioned that one or two days after June 5, once the Mandir is fully completed, devotees will be able to visit all the different Mandirs within the premises for darshan. Reflecting on the Mandir’s growing popularity, Mishra said they remain inspired by the faith of the devotees, with daily footfalls ranging from 75,000 to 1 lakh.
Mishra also outlined the challenges faced during the construction process.
“We faced many geographical challenges during the construction. Sourcing materials from various places was also a major challenge. There were many discussions regarding engineering and design because our vision was that this Mandir should last for the next 1,000 years without damage. For me, these engineering challenges were the toughest part. The solution to all these challenges can be summed up in one word: teamwork,” he added.
