Ramlala’s life is to be consecrated today in the grand Ram temple of Ayodhya.
This temple is not just a place of worship, but it is also a blend of ancient faith and modern science. Ram Temple shows the miracle of modern engineering.
It has been given so much strength that it can easily withstand strong earthquakes and severe floods.
Also, this divine Ram temple of Ayodhya is going to stand strong for 1,000 years.
Ram Temple is being built by Larsen & Toubro Company with the management of Tata Consulting Engineers Limited. It is the result of meticulous planning and modern construction techniques.
The design of Ram temple is influenced by the traditional Nagara architectural style in which 360 pillars have been installed. The temple is built entirely of stone with no use of modern iron, steel and even cement.
This decision was taken so that the temple could be kept safe from earthquakes.
It is known that compared to other materials, the lifespan of stone is long and durable. This is believed to be the reason why many temples hundreds of years old are still safe.
Special attention given to the foundation of the temple
While building the Ram temple, scientists have paid special attention to its foundation. The temple was built on a 15 meter thick layer of rolled compacted concrete, which included 56 layers of compacted concrete made from fly ash, dust and chemicals.
This strong base is further strengthened by a 21 feet thick granite platform, which will help protect the temple from moisture. The foundation pillars can be compared to big bridges built over rivers, which will ensure the strength of the temple from seismic activities.
Excavated the ground 15 meters and took out soil
According to India Today report, Ram Temple is capable of withstanding earthquakes of up to 6.5 magnitude. It is estimated that there will be no need to repair it for 1,000 years.
The team building the temple measured the intensities of earthquakes that have occurred so far in the area stretching from Ayodhya to Nepal. After this, work was done in the laboratory to design a unique foundation for this temple.
Some important suggestions were received from the Indian Institute of Technology in Chennai. On this basis, the engineers excavated the ground up to 15 meters and removed the top soil there.
Re-engineered soil was filled here. This clay turns into stone within 14 days and then 47 layers were laid down during the construction process.
