Seeking the blessings of the Almighty has always been a pleasurable option irrespective of all religions. The establishment of structures in the name of the same had drawn attention and created headlines in the past both in positive and negative ways. People, emotions, cultural identities, etc are some of the many entities that are involved with religion. Add to it is politics when specifically concerning India.
The establishment of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was doing rounds of headlines since pictures of its ongoing construction work surfaced on the internet. It is one of the massive structures being built over crores of acres of area and much tall than any other nearby establishments. It’s a mark creating a religious identity, also influencing the vicinity with the same vibe. It is also needless to say, huge amounts of investments are induced by the center in the construction of this grandiose structure. Although it is easily expected the center would readily extend hands of support, interest, and flavor akin to issues like this.
Central elements of construction
As per certain media reports, the idol of Lord Rama would be sculpted with the help of certain raw materials from a place called Karkala. The grandeur of the Ram temple is reflective of excellent contemporary craftsmanship and the skill of artisans employed from places near and far. Optimal utilization of their potential calls for an effective workforce driven by the motive and aim to create the third-largest Hindu shrine in India.
The choice of the Nellikaru stone belonging to the Karkala region is a matter of pride for the residents there. Besides, these stones are believed to have received international recognition which continues to keep up the picture of India as a traditional cultural hub on the map of the world.
Another area of coverage is the Pahadpur area of Bharatpur’s Bansi that imported around 17,000 granite stones as a part of the construction of this temple. Thus, several areas come into play when the dependency on raw construction materials becomes questionable.
The sanctum sanctorum is one of the main attractions, all in white forms a major part of the Garbagriha. This calls for much elaboration on part of the construction of the temple and paying significant attention to highlighting the main attractions.
Politics In Play
The temple is not only a shrine of Lord Ram but other Hindu deities will eventually find a place. The BJP in a bid to move forward with its establishment of Ram Mandir has lived up to its ideology and propaganda of Hindutva. The PM and UP CM have collaborated on this venture with much celebration and festive spirit. Post its completion, it will be undoubtedly marked as a symbol of a dominant Hindu shrine in lieu with the prevailing ruling party and its Hindutva ideology.
As the famous shrine is yet to open its doors for worshippers in early Jan next year, many people are looking up to it. It would drive many tourists and might be fuel for several economic activities to thrive and sustain.
