Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) workers will go from door to door from January 15 to collect donations for the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
This was stated by VHP vice-president and secretary general of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Champat Rai, in Lucknow on Friday.
Announcing the launch of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir Nidhi Samarpan Abhiyan, Rai said the campaign would start from Makar Sankranti (January 15, 2021) and continue up to Magh-Purnima (February 27) when VHP workers would reach out to 110 million families of 4,00,000 villages of the country to seek donation for the Ram temple, linking the common man with Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. “The VHP workers would issue coupons or receipts with the picture of Lord Ram’s temple,” he said.
“With public support from every caste, creed, sect, region and language of the country, the Ram temple would actually take the form of a Rashtra Mandir (Temple of the Nation),” he said.
Addressing press persons, Rai said that the Hindu society struggled for five centuries to protect the country’s honour by reclaiming the birthplace of Lord Ram.
“Finally, the Supreme Court accepted the sentiments of the society and directed the government to form a trust,” he said.
On undergoing preparations for the temple, Rai said that engineers from IIT-Mumbai, IIT-Delhi, IIT-Chennai, IIT-Guwahati, CBRI Roorkee, Larsen & Toubro and Tatas were working on the foundation drawing which would soon come out.
The three-storeyed temple will be made of stone blocks and each floor will be 20 feet high while the length and breadth of the temple will be 360 feet and 235 feet, respectively.
