The construction of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya is in full swing and is expected to be completed by January next year. In a video shared by news agency ANI, workers could be seen giving final touch to the carvings on the temple building. The foundation stone of the temple was laid on August 5, 2020 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the construction of the foundation has already been completed.
The ruling BJP, which had promised the construction of the temple in its 2019 manifesto, said the temple is likely to be opened for devotees just before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Last month, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde along with Shiv Sena MPs and MLAs visited the Ayodhya temple and performed ‘maha aarti’ there.
The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the trust constituted to look after construction and management of the temple, shared a video last year to show the public how the Ram Temple would appear after construction is completed.
The trust tweeted a 3D animated video to give a preview of the "divine project".
The 3D video depicted the Ram Temple surrounded by lush green lawns. The pillars and the walls of the main temple will have designs of gods and goddesses. The temple will also have marble flooring and sandstone walls, the video showed.
In 2021, the trust had erected a 15-foot wide iron mesh so that devotees seeking Ram Lalla's darshan could see the construction of the temple.
Swami Vivekananda Jagriti Samiti and Hanuman Granites supplied 10,000 granite stone pillars for the temple.
