Shivlinga is being built 33 feet high:
The construction of the Virat Ramayana Temple, located on the Ram Janaki Marg in East Champaran, is underway. Spanning an area of 140 acres, the temple will be an impressive structure, with the main temple measuring 1080 feet in length and 540 feet in width. Its height will reach 270 feet, making it a remarkable sight. Within the temple, a 33 feet high and 33 feet circular Shivalinga will be installed, which will be the largest in the world and will showcase evidence of Sahastra Lingam. This Shivlinga, carved out of black granite rock in Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, will weigh a staggering 200 metric tons. The Virat Ramayana Temple will also house a total of 22 temples, with 12 peaks, including the second tallest peak at 198 feet.

Ram Rasoi was started by Mahavir Temple:
In Patna, the Mahavir Temple has initiated a significant project called Ram Rasoi. Following the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the Ram Temple, Ram Rasoi was established a few months ago. Initially, it was open from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm, providing meals to people. However, with the upcoming inauguration of the temple on January 22nd, Ram Rasoi will extend its operating hours from 9:00 am to 9:30 pm starting from January 15th. This will allow people to enjoy two meals at the temple. Ram Rasoi serves authentic Bihari cuisine, ensuring that no one goes hungry from their premises.
