Ram museum in Ayodhya |
Plans to build a temple dedicated to Lord Ram on the banks of the Sarayu river in Ayodhya continue afoot, with the Ministry of Tourism and Culture coming out with a blueprint that includes a yagyashala where oblations will take place twice a day, and live performances of the Ramayana in various languages would be a daily feature. The plans have been drawn up by about five museologists from India for the proposed campus, set in 25 acres in Ayodhya, not very far from the disputed site of Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath has accorded in principle approval for grant of land for the purpose of a grand Ram museum in Ayodhya. The concept note, shows that the museum will have the outward appearance of a temple. Upon entering, there would be a pictorial representation of a Ram Durbar, with the walls covered with various prasangas (episodes) from Lord Ram`s life. The outward appearance will be that of a temple. Certain elements of the Ramayana museum from Mauritius will be incorporated. The concept note goes on to state that an exhibition of various artefacts unearthed by Dr. B.B. Lal of the Benaras Hindu University (BHU), and representations of what was unearthed in the excavations carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) under orders of the Allahabad High Court in the Ram Temple case, will be displayed in one part of the museum.
