The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Larsen & Toubro engineers have surveyed the inner sanctum of the Ram Janmabhumi Temple in Ayodhya to prepare for installing air conditioning there.
- The all-stone sanctum currently has no AC, and summer heat affects both the deity's idol and the priests, so a cooler has been placed as a temporary measure.
- Engineers are working on a design that keeps equipment largely hidden, does not disturb darshan or rituals, and controls both temperature and humidity to protect the stone structure, metal ornaments, and the idol.
- Separately, after a donation theft incident, the temple trust and SBI have handed cash counting duties entirely to regular SBI staff instead of a private agency's workers.
What to watch next
- How engineers solve the challenge of installing AC without damaging the temple's stone architecture and carvings
- Whether the system balances temperature and humidity to protect the idol and metal ornaments
- Implementation of the new SBI-run cash counting process for temple donations after the theft case
