Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, after a cabinet meeting, announced this ambitious project, stating it aims to emulate the scale of Ayodhya's celebrated Ram Janmabhoomi Tirth Kshetra. The comprehensive plan encompasses the construction of a grand temple along with various supporting structures.
The proposal includes Rs 137 crore for refurbishing the existing temple and an overwhelming Rs 728 crore for developing tourist amenities such as paths, parks, and parking. Roads leading to the pilgrimage site will also be enhanced, making it a pivotal religious destination.
