The Idol of Shriram will be consecrated in the sanctum sanctorum sometime between 15th and 24th January 2024. ‘We are trying to make every design and structure of the temple in such a way that it will remain intact for the next 1,000 years and will not require any repairs’, said Champat Rai, General Secretary of Shriram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on 16th July.
