Donations of 41cr already in for mandir, says treasurer

LUCKNOW: Even before the construction of the Ram temple could begin, donations have started pouring in. In fact, as on date, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra has a kitty of about Rs 41 crore.
This does not include the donation made by religious leaders, including Swami Chiddanand Saraswati of the Parmarth Niketan, Swami Avdeshanand Giri of the Juna Akhada and Baba Ram Dev and other dignitaries who arrived on Wednesday.
“The total donation to the trust stood at Rs 30 crore when the logbook was last seen on Tuesday. Another Rs 11 crore was donated by Morari Babu which makes it about Rs 41 crore. However, the amount doesn’t include other donations made on Wednesday,” said Swami Govind Dev Giri, treasurer of the trust.
The seer also stated that people had contributed for the cause of Ram Temple even during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sources revealed that donations to the tune of Rs 4.60 crore came in two official accounts of the trust since Lockdown-1 was imposed. Online donations also came for the temple from the next day the trust rolled out a net banking option this year.
