People from India and across the world are donating money to the Ram Mandir through the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which is entrusted with the job of constructing the temple. Anyone using UPI apps like PhonePe and Google Pay can now donate directly to the trust via their mobile phones as the portal has now gone live on the Bharat Bill Payment System (BBPS).
