All sculptors will get equal respect: Nripendra Mishra
Nripendra said, ‘The Trust has taken all three idols of Ramlala. There is a feeling of simplicity, dignity and worship in the new idol. The decision was taken after much discussion on the caste of the idol. The idol is made on two black marbles and one on Makrana marble. We have been getting the opinion and guidance of Prime Minister Modi.
Budget was estimated at Rs 2000 crore, donations received were Rs 3500 crore: Nripendra Mishra
He said, ‘The first map of the temple was of only one floor. Prime Minister Modi suggested to make the temple grand. The second and third floors were built after the Prime Minister’s opinion. The construction of the temple was completed with divine blessings. The budget was estimated at Rs 2000 crore. Donations worth Rs 3500 crore were received from more than 5 lakh villages. Not even a single penny of the government was invested in the construction of the temple.
He said, ‘Everyone who brings pride to the country has been invited. There is no difference between the temples of North and South India. People of all religions were invited to the consecration ceremony. The Prime Minister wanted that Ram Temple should belong to all people. Prime Minister Modi himself decided to perform the rituals.

Nripendra Mishra said, ‘The cost of building the 795 meter long wall was more than that of the temple. The idol of Ramlala is just below the highest peak of the temple. The temple construction will be completed by 31 December 2024. On the day of Ram Navami, the sun’s rays will fall on Ramlala’s forehead. At 12 noon the sun’s rays will fall on Ramlala’s forehead. Technology has been used extensively in the construction of the temple. The Prime Minister stressed that heritage and development should go together. The economy of Ayodhya will change in 2 to 3 years.
I did not believe that such a Ram temple would be built: Nripendra Mishra
He said, ‘I never had faith that Ram temple would be built like this. It is very pleasant to see today after seeing the old days. Who would want the Lord to remain a temporary place even after the construction of the sanctum sanctorum? Any kind of dispute regarding God is unnecessary. The grand temple is the result of the hard work of the people involved in the construction work.
