Dr Anil Mishra, a Trustee of the Ram Mandir Trust, told PTI that the Ram Janambhoomi T erth Ksetra Trust has invited ideas from worldwide experts for their incorporation in the upcoming Ram temple’s masterplan.
The suggestions should address the major elements of the project namely religious Yatra, rituals, culture and science, he added.
