CM shares final design of Janaki temple at Punaura Dham
Patna: CM Nitish Kumar on Sunday shared the final design of 'Jagat Janani Maa Janaki Mandir', which will be constructed at Punaura Dham, a Hindu pilgrimage site in Sitamarhi district that is widely considered as the birthplace of goddess Sita.
The CM said that the design for the holistic development of the 'Jagat Janani Maa Janaki Mandir' has been finalised and that a dedicated trust has been formed to expedite the work for its development.
"I am very happy to inform you that the design of the grand temple and other structures for the development of Jagat Janani Maa Janaki's birthplace at Punaura Dham, Sitamarhi, is now ready," Nitish said in a social media post, sharing several images of the proposed temple.
Nitish added, "We are determined to complete the construction of the grand temple in Sitamarhi district, as soon as possible. Building the magnificent temple of Maa Janaki is a matter of pride and fortune for all us Biharis."
The state cabinet, during a recent meeting, approved the appointment of a Noida-based private firm as the design consultant for the development of the Punaura Dham temple. It is the same organisation, which was the consultant for the master plan and architectural services of the Ram temple at Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh.
Lakhs of pilgrims, including those from abroad, especially Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, visit Punaura Dham every year. Earlier also, the state cabinet had approved Rs 120 crore for the overall development of the temple.
Earlier on Dec 13, 2023, Nitish had laid the foundation stone for the overall development of the Punaura Dham temple.
