The Nyas has drawn up plans to reach out to 525 thousand villages and towns seeking donations for building the Ram temple with the participation of the people. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone for the Ram temple on August 5 2020 by laying a symbolic silver brick at the site in Ayodhya. The temple has been designed by architect Chandrakant Sompura in the `Nagara` style temple architecture popular in central and northern parts of the country. The inner sanctum of the temple – where the idol of Rama will be housed – will be octagonal. The temple will include a large structure of three floors with 366 pillars and five domes.
