The Prime Minister also performed 'aarti' of the idol, 'parikrama' of the god, and 'dandvat pranam'. The childhood form of Ram Lalla was shown at the temple.  Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir was built in traditional Nagara style and is 380 feet long (east-west), 250 feet wide, and 161 feet tall. It is supported by 392 pillars and 44 doorways. The temple's pillars and walls have finely carved representations of Hindu deities, gods, and goddesses.
