Envisioning the Shri Ram Temple: Spiritual Odyssey and Economic Triumph

Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust's Champat Rai foresees the Ram temple construction in Ayodhya not only as a spiritual project but also an economic boost, estimating a potential GST contribution of Rs 400 crore. With plans for an expansive 70-acre complex featuring 18 temples, including shrines for Valmiki, Shabri, and Tulsidas, Rai assures full tax compliance. Emphasizing societal collaboration, he ensures visitor accommodations for up to 200,000 devotees. Rai also reflects on the temple's historical significance and recent progress in planning a Shiva temple in Bakawa village.



The ongoing construction work linked to the Ram temple in Ayodhya is not only a spiritual endeavor but also an economic boon, as highlighted by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust general secretary Champat Rai. Speaking at a public event in Indore, Rai estimated that the construction activities would potentially generate nearly Rs 400 crore in Goods and Services Tax (GST), emphasizing the project's commitment to contributing positively to the nation's tax revenue.

 

Rai expressed confidence in the significant economic impact of the temple construction, outlining plans for the development of a complex spanning 70 acres that will house 18 temples, including dedicated shrines for revered figures like Maharishi Valmiki, Shabri, and Tulsidas. "We will pay 100 per cent tax. Not a rupee in tax will be reduced," Rai affirmed, underscoring the project's compliance and dedication to contributing its fair share.

 

Beyond its fiscal implications, Rai emphasized the inclusive nature of the temple project, highlighting the collaborative efforts of society in its construction. Assuring that arrangements are in place to accommodate the influx of devotees, Rai reiterated the project's commitment to ensuring a seamless and welcoming experience for visitors, with provisions made for up to two lakh worshippers.

 

Reflecting on the historical significance of the movement to build the Ram temple in Ayodhya, Rai drew parallels to a struggle for independence, noting the sacrifices and hardships endured by countless individuals and families. "This yagya (movement) is no less than the 1,000-year-old fight for independence. It (agitation) was held for the public welfare," Rai remarked, acknowledging the enduring impact of the collective endeavor.

 

During a recent visit to Bakawa village in MP's Khargone district, Rai finalized plans for the installation of a 'Shivling' for a Shiva temple within the Ayodhya complex, following the recommendation of an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer. Bakawa, renowned for its exquisite Shivlings crafted along the banks of the Narmada river, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and spiritual heritage that will be showcased within the forthcoming temple complex.
