They have also urged Lord Ram devotees to donate copper plates which will be used to fuse stone blocks with each other.
“For Mandir construction, copper plates will be used to fuse stone blocks with each other. The plates should be 18 inches long, 30 mm wide & 3 mm in depth. 10,000 such plates may be required in total structure. We call upon Shri Rambhakts to donate such copper plates to the trust.”
“Donors can engrave family names, place of origin or their community temples’ names on these plates. This way, the copper plates will not only symbolize the unity of this country but also be a testament to the entire country’s contribution towards Mandir construction,” tweeted Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra.
