Ram temple website to offer virtual tour

LUCKNOW: Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, the organization that will construct the Ram temple in Ayodhya, started operating its official website. Arrangements are being made to webcast the religious proceedings at the revered temple that will enable devotees to have a virtual darshan of Ram Lalla.
“The website will keep the devotees as well as donors for temple construction updated about the progress made on the temple front,” trustee Anil Mishra told TOI.
The website was launched by state culture minister Neelkanth Tewari in a simple ceremony on Wednesday and opened for the public from Thursday morning.
“We have made a humble beginning but many features would be added to it in subsequent weeks,” Mishra said.
A Facebook page of the temple trust was launched earlier in April while a letter has been sent to Twitter to get its handle verified. Mishra said the trust will release all the official details about the temple construction through the website only. The website will allow people to make donations for temple construction.
The levelling of the area near the sanctum sanctorum has been done while the ground is being prepared in other parts now.
Meanwhile, sources said the bhumi pujan for temple construction has been deferred in the wake of coronavirus pandemic.
