Ayodhya to get ‘Hanumat Path’ as Ram Mandir nears completion in December

In a twin boost to the pilgrim experience in Ayodhya, authorities have announced the construction of a new “Hanumat Path” corridor to ease crowd movement between the Ram Temple and Hanuman Garhi, even as the Ram Mandir Construction Committee confirmed that the grand temple will be completed by December this year.

Together, the progress on the Ram Mandir construction and the development of the Hanumat Path corridor promise to make the pilgrim journey in Ayodhya smoother, safer, and spiritually enriching, while also boosting local commerce and tourism.

After a review meeting of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee here on Tuesday, Chairman Nripendra Mishra assured that the main temple structure will be ready by December 2025, with most of the major works likely to conclude by October.

Of the 90 planned murals for the lower plinth, 85 are already complete, though a minor delay of 15–30 days was reported in 3D sculpting. The construction journey is being documented via five time-lapse cameras, with the footage to be preserved as intellectual property for educational use and for creating a historic documentary.

Mishra also confirmed that a final decision on façade lighting, costing around Rs 8–10 crore, will soon be taken.
Meanwhile, to address the persistent congestion faced by devotees traveling between the two key shrines, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Hanuman Garhi Temple management, and the district administration have jointly approved the “Hanumat Path.”

District Magistrate Nikhil T Funde said that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been sent for approval, and consultations with local temple mahants and stakeholders have resolved earlier hurdles.

Once completed, devotees will be able to move directly between the temples without relying on the busy Ram Path, reducing traffic restrictions and creating new avenues of local employment through shops along the corridor.
