Artisans from Tamil Nadu's Mamallapuram crafted doors for Ram Temple in Ayodhya

A team of artisans and carpenters led by Ramesh from the Chengalpattu area started making the doors in July 2023. He said that it was a great opportunity for him and this attempt would bridge the gaps between North India and South India.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu): As the country awaits the auspicious and holy event of the consecration of Ram Lalla, Tamil Nadu is beaming with pride as a craftsman from the state designed the doors of the Ram Temple.

The doors of the Ram Temple have been painted by artist Ramesh from the Mamallapuram area of the Chengalpattu district. In an interview with ETV Bharat, Ramesh said, “With the help of a Hyderabadi company, I got the opportunity to make a miniature model of the temple and present it to the temple trust. Next, we received an order to make 18 doors including the one near the Garbhagriha in the temple."

He said that he had completed the work that started in July 2023 and was sent to the sanctum sanctorum in Ayodhya by air, he added. As per Ramesh, this is a great and massive opportunity to unite the North Indian and South Indian states. Currently, Ramesh is in Ayodhya for the historic inauguration of the Ram Temple.

As precautions are in full swing, The Railways has allocated three special trains to Tripura for ferrying people to Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh to offer prayers in the Ram temple, a BJP Yuva Morcha leader said on Saturday at 1.26 pm. Hindu Sena activists on Saturday pasted a sticker of 'Ayodhya Marg' on the Babar Road sign board in New Delhi while demanding that the road be officially renamed.
