Stepping Ahead, Ayodhya is set to evolve into a global spiritual tourist hub, unveiling plans for the construction of 13 new temples. Spearheaded by the Ram Janambhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, this ambitious initiative aims to enhance the spiritual charm of the region, featuring a blend of both internal and external temple structures. Swami Gurudev Giriji, the Trust's Treasurer, provided insights into the ongoing projects, emphasizing the progress made on the main temple.
Six temples will be built within the Ram Mandir complex, and an additional seven will be located outside it. Swami Gurudev Giriji, the Treasurer of the Ram Janambhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, shared that various projects, including the main temple's completion, are already in progress.
Although the main temple, consecrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, currently has only its first floor completed, the new temples will strategically occupy four corners around it. A separate temple dedicated to Hanuman, Lord Ram's devoted follower, is also part of the plan.
Substantial progress has been achieved in constructing these temples, with statues already installed. The ongoing work involves polishing and adding finishing touches to these sacred structures. Notably, a temple dedicated to Goddess Annapurna will be added near Sita Rasoi, the revered kitchen of Goddess Sita.
Expanding beyond the temple complex, an additional seven temples will be constructed across a vast area. These temples aim to honor individuals who played crucial roles in the life of Lord Ram.

The recently inaugurated main temple, graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has reached its first floor. Swami Gurudev Giriji revealed that efforts are now focused on the second floor, a crucial step preceding the construction of the central dome or "shikhar." The comprehensive plan includes intricate details for five key temples dedicated to the Ram parivar, encompassing Lord Ganapati, Shiva, Surya, and Goddess Jagdamba.
Diverse Temples Within the Compound:
The four corners surrounding the main temple will host essential temples symbolizing the divine presence of Lord Ram. Work is also underway on a separate temple dedicated to Hanuman, acknowledged as Lord Ram's greatest devotee. The meticulous process involves the installation of statues, followed by polishing and finishing touches.
Special Temples Encompassing the Main Complex:
Extending beyond the main temple, an expansive area will feature seven temples dedicated to individuals who played pivotal roles in Lord Ram's life. Swami Gurudev Giriji highlighted, "These would be for Saints Valmiki, Vashist, Vishwamitra, Devi Shavari, and the huge bird Jatayu, who laid down his life for Ram."

The grand opening of the Ram Temple witnessed an overwhelming response from devotees. Despite freezing weather conditions, hundreds of thousands flocked to Ayodhya to catch a glimpse of the revered deity.

The festivities resonated not only in Ayodhya but also across the nation. Ayodhya's journey towards becoming a global spiritual destination is marked by this pivotal moment in its transformation.
