Lucknow, Oct 1: After a gap of almost four years, work at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas temple workshop restarted today with carving of stones for the proposed Ram temple at Ayodhya.
Chairman of the Nyas Mahant Nritya Gopaldas and VHP international general secretary Dinesh Chandra handed over stones to workers for carving after rituals, VHP spokesman Sharad Sharma said.
The work for carving of stones for the proposed Ram temple had started in 1990 and continued till 2007, he said.
