"Such a big stone structure has never been built in North or South India even in the last 100-200 years," news agency ANI quoted him as saying.
"A foundation of 56-layered artificial rock, created by engineers, has been laid below the structure... Around 5 lakh cubic feet of pink-coloured sandstone sourced from Bharatpur in Rajasthan has been used to construct the temple structure. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple is made of pure white Makrana marble and is ready," Rai further said.

In December 1992, a sixteenth-century religious structure deemed 'disputed' by Hindus was brought down by a mob of thousands. The community believed the Mughal-era religious structure was built over the birthplace of the Hindu god Ram.
In September 2019, the Indian Supreme Court in a unanimous verdict cleared the way for the construction of a Ram Temple in Ayodhya, and directed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration to allot a 5-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque.
