By the end of 2025, the three-storeyed Viraat Ramayan temple is expected to stand in all its glory. It will comprise 12 striking domes, with the highest dome reaching an impressive height of 270 ft. The temple’s overall measurement is projected to be 2,800 ft in length, 1,400 ft in width, and 405 ft in height.

Drawing Inspiration from Iconic Temples

The architectural design of the Ramayan temple draws inspiration from three iconic temples. The majestic Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, the revered Ramanathaswami temple in Rameshwaram, and the enchanting Meenakshi Sundareshwarar temple in Madurai have influenced the temple’s design, reflecting their distinctive features and spiritual significance.
