Before commencing the construction work of the peak, prayers were offered at the Site.
The main stone on the summit was worshipped.
The spire of a Nagar style temple designed by Sompura Architects The spire of the temple which is being built in Nagar style will also be of this style. The spire has been designed by Sompura Architects. The design was finalized by the Trust. The height of the entire temple (up to the peak) is 161 feet. Construction of the peak will take at least 120 days.
There will also be a religious flag on the summit. It is considered to be the most difficult to make a peak in the temple. So when its construction started, representatives of all agencies were present. Shikhar is being constructed keeping in mind the features of Ram Mandir construction. For this both its strength and beauty will be taken care of.
Temples of 7 sages will be built in 4 months Nripendra Mishra said, 'I saw that seven temples are being built in the Ram temple premises. These temples are named after seven sages Vashishtha, Kashyapa, Atri, Jamadagni, Gautama, Vishwamitra, Bharadwaja. Idols of everyone will be installed here. Their construction is going on fast.
Apart from this, the construction of idols of 24 gods and goddesses including Lord Rama, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna has also been completed in the temple. This will be installed soon. He said that a three-day review meeting is being held to speed up the construction of the Ram temple.
1500 workers were engaged in building the peak According to Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust, the target is to complete all the work on the temple by December 2024. L&T, the company that is building the temple, has prepared this plan. Under this, a large number of workers will be employed and work will be done day and night. Currently around 1500 workers are engaged in building the peak. These are from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
What will happen on the first and second floors? The sanctum sanctorum is on the ground floor of the Ram temple. On top of it, the idols of Ram Darbar will be installed on the first floor. After having darshan of Ramlalla, devotees will be able to climb the stairs and have darshan of Ram Durbar. Nothing has been decided yet about installing a statue on the second floor.
On June 4, water started dripping in the Ram temple, aarti was performed in the light of torches Acharya Satyendra Das, chief priest of Ayodhya's Ram temple, said on June 6 that rainwater was dripping from the roof of the Ram temple. It was said that the sanctum sanctorum, where Ramlalla is seated, was also filled with water.
Shri Ram Mandir Nirman Samiti Chairman Nripendra Mishra said, I have seen rainwater falling from the first floor because the Guru Mandap is open. When the work on top of it is done, it will be covered. At present, this has to happen under such circumstances. There is no drainage in the sanctum sanctorum, as all mandapams have been scaled to drain water and the water in the sanctum sanctorum is drained manually.
So far more than 1800 crore rupees have been spent on the Ram temple
Abhishekam of Ram Mandir took place on January 22 this year. PM Modi worshiped Lord Ram at 12.30 pm.

Now let us tell you about the ongoing controversy over the peak of the Ram temple…
Despite coming to Ayodhya on September 22, Shankaracharya did not visit the Ram temple.
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteswarananda reached Ayodhya on September 22. Cow Respect Movement started. Circumnavigated Ramkot. He then installed a cow flag at the Charushila temple in Jankighat, but did not visit Ramlalla.
He said – We have taken a pledge that we will not visit the Ram temple till the construction is completed. A temple which does not have a peak is not considered a temple. The construction of the temple is not yet complete. The first thing to do before going to the temple is to see the flag. Currently the flag is not available for viewing. Kalash is not available for darshan. What will we see after going there? Those who are having darshan are the devotees, we are the responsible person.
Ramlalla's darshan time changed Ramlalla's darshan time has changed. Ram Mandir Trust has given information about this. According to the trust, devotees will be able to have darshan of Ramlalla from 7 am to 9 am. However, the temple will open at 4.30 am.
After this there will be Mangala Aarti for 10 minutes. After that, Ramlalla's curtain will be closed and abhishek and decoration will be done. Doors will open at 6.30 am. Soon after this, Sringar Aarti will take place. Entry for darshan will start from 7 am.
