Time Capsule to be Placed Below Ayodhya temple

AYODHYA: A time capsule containing the history of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement is to be placed beneath site of the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya.
“The capsule will be lowered 200 feet below the surface to ensure that there are no disputes in future,” Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust member Kameshwar Chaupal said on Monday. “The time capsule will be buried along with the foundation of the Ram mandir,” Chaupal told TOI, adding “200 feet is the depth of the foundation”.

“It will also contain the complete history of Ayodhya and detailed life of Lord Rama written in Sanskrit on ‘tamra patras’ (copper plates)’,” Chaupal told TOI. When asked why the plates would be inscribed in only Sanskrit, he said it was a language in which one could write long sentences in very few words.
“The struggle for Ram Janmabhoomi, including the long-drawn case in the Supreme Court, has a lesson for the current and upcoming generations. The time capsule will be placed so that in future anyone who wishes to study the history of the temple, he’ll get the facts related to Ram Janmabhoomi so that no new controversy can arise,” Chaupal said.

He said experts were preparing the tamra patras, which would be placed with the foundation stone. However, it may not be done on the day of the bhoomi pujan. “As tamra patras are yet to be readied, the placement of the time capsule will be done later,” he said.
The bhoomi pujan is to be performed in the presence of PM Modi on August 5.
