Ayodhya: Fifth gallery of Ram temple to become an international museum, say trust members

Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 14 (ANI): Members of the Ayodhya Ram Temple Trust and officials participated in the third meeting of the Shri Ram Mandir construction committee, held to oversee the development of the temple’s fifth gallery, which will be transformed into a global museum.

According to the committee’s head, Narpendra Mishra, the meeting commenced at 10 a.m. He personally inspected how the gallery would be presented to the public. The fifth gallery, to be constructed by IIT Chennai, will focus on Lord Hanuman. A preliminary inspection is underway, and initial construction has begun. Mishra stated that without full completion, it is difficult to determine what kind of scriptwriting will be used in the museum. Based on the script, the appropriate technology for religious storytelling will be assessed.

The first four galleries are part of the Uttar Pradesh Tourism Department, which has produced the Ram Katha (the story of Lord Ram).

The fifth gallery, located in the holy city of Ayodhya, will utilise advanced technology such as 3D and 7D. A twenty-minute video on the life of Lord Hanuman will be produced. The gallery is set to become an international museum within a year of its initiation.

The life of Lord Hanuman will be displayed on a large screen, and visitors will be able to watch the twenty-minute video using 3D technology. The gallery will accommodate around 25 people at a time to view the video.

The script for the museum has been prepared by committees from IIT Chennai and the Science and Technology Department of the Government of India. Final touches will be made by Sandip Kumar, a committee member responsible for shaping the international museum.

Anil Mishra, a trustee of the temple committee, said, “The international museum will feature scripts from the Ram Katha, and the fifth gallery in the temple complex, developed in collaboration with government departments, will focus on the life of Lord Hanuman. Visitors will be able to view it on large screens using the latest technology.”

He further added, “The museum will be completed in one year and will be truly unique.”
