According to Larsen & Toubro, who designed and constructed the complex in roughly three years, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya is intended to last a millennium.
The temple complex is housed within a 70-acre area and has a height of 161.75 feet, a length of 380 feet and a width of 249.5 feet. The design follows the Nagara architecture style that originated in the fifth century. The temple has three storeys and five mandaps - Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Gudh Mandap, Kirtan Mandap, and Prarthana Mandap - and the main Shikhar.
“This engineering marvel stands as a symbol of endurance designed and constructed to last a thousand years,” said S N Subrahmanyan, Chairman and Managing Director of L&T.
The main material used in the temple construction is pink Bansi Paharpur stones sourced from the mines in the Bharatpur district of Rajasthan. A team of around 1,500 artisans made intricate carvings on the stones. The company said a stone tracking application was used to monitor the 26,500 individual stones with QR codes.
The structure has been constructed to withstand zone 4 seismic activity that can be of high intensity.
The temple has 390 pillars, including six Makrana marble pillars on each floor, embellished with intricate carvings of over 10,000 idols and themes.
The country’s largest engineering and construction company commenced work on the temple in May 2020. It started with a multi-layered foundation built innovatively without using metals, such as iron or steel, to ensure resistance to corrosion over time. The company collaborated with IIT Madras to achieve this. It used a specially created engineering fill, a plain cement concrete raft foundation and a plinth with a height of 21 feet using granite stones brought from south India.
“In designing and constructing the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, Larsen & Toubro has woven a narrative of precision, innovation, and timeless craftsmanship. Each stone laid and every intricate carving stands as a testament to our commitment to crafting not just a temple but also an enduring masterpiece of engineering excellence,” said M V Satish, Whole-Time Director and Senior Vice President.
