The construction work is expected to finish in 36-40 months". It further added that the Iron won't be used in the construction of the Mandir.

The Trust also called upon devotees of Lord Ramb to donate such copper plates for the construction. "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."
"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," the report added.
