The much-awaited bhoomi pujan for starting the construction of Ram temple at Ayodhya is likely to be held in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on April 30.
However, a final call on the ceremony would be taken in a meeting of Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra trust to be held in Lucknow on April 4.
Well-placed sources said on Thursday that the date was tentative and a final decision would be taken on April 4.
The sources said that both the prime minister and the RSS chief would be invited for the ceremony while water from all holy rivers and mud from religious places would be brought there.
It has also been suggested that gold and silver bricks be used for bhoomi pujan.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had carried out the shilanyas (laying of foundation stone) of the Ram temple way back on November 9 in 1989.
Meanwhile, the idol of Ram Lalla would be shifted to an alternative temple on March 25, the first day of Navratri.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath would be present along with the Ram temple trust members, saints and seers when the idols would be shifted to a temporary temple.
