The proposed temple museum in Ayodhya will now be much bigger. Against the earlier plan for a 25-acre complex, the Uttar Pradesh Cabinet, chaired by chief minister Yogi Adityanath, on Tuesday approved an additional 27.102 acres in Manjha Jamthara village of Ayodhya for the ₹750-crore mega project to be executed by Tata Sons Pvt Ltd.
The proposed project, now spread across 52.102 acres, is set to be a world-class museum of temples, showcasing the history and architecture of famous temples across India. The housing and urban planning department will transfer the land to the tourism department pro bono, officials said.
