Museum in Ayodhya will tell stories of major temples

Lucknow, Nov 8 (SocialNews.XYZ) As the construction of the grand Ram temple goes on in Ayodhya in full swing, the Yogi Adityanath government has also intensified efforts to build the temple museum there.

A dream project of the chief minister, the Temple Museum will not only tell visitors about the sacred stories of all the major temples in India, but also introduce people to the basic concept of Sanatan Dharma.

To be built under the supervision of the country's famous architect Vrinda Sumaya, the Temple Museum will also display scientific aspects of temples' architecture.

Not only in the country but across the world, the faith of crores of Hindus is linked to the temple of Lord Ram.

It is believed that after the inauguration of the Ram Temple, there will be an unexpected increase in the number of devotees in Ayodhya. Therefore, the Yogi government is focusing on developing all the facilities in Ayodhya for the convenience of people.

The search for land for the temple museum to be built on approximately 50 acres on the banks of Saryu has intensified.

Architect Vrinda Sumaya and her team recently inspected the three sites identified at Jamthara on the Saryu coast and another site identified at Rampur Halwara. One of these identified sites will be selected for the construction of the Temple Museum.

According to the government spokesman, the Yogi government's intention behind building this special museum, showcasing the greatness of Indian temples and their magnificent architecture, is to make the world, especially the youth, aware of the importance of Sanatan culture.

The Temple Museum will educate the youth about why a temple was built at a particular place and what was the philosophy behind its construction. It will also display the technologies used in the ancient India, as well as the worship methods and their importance for the people.

The temples as well as the ancient Indian educational institutions that developed there, including monasteries and peethams, will showcase the exquisite architectural styles of the temples.

The Temple Museum will be divided into 12 galleries. These galleries will mesmerise visitors with their effortless artistry, instilling a sense of pride and reverence among the spectators, while showcasing the scientific and philosophical aspects of the temples to people.

These include the concept of God in Sanatan Dharma, the philosophy behind the method of worship, the need for temples for worship, the architecture and craftsmanship of temples, the philosophy behind the rituals of temples, the social utility of temples beyond worship and basic elements of Indian temples.
