The Ram Mandir is being built in the Nagara style, following the principles of Vastu Shastra. The superstructure of the Ram Mandir is made of carved Rajasthan Bansi Paharpur stone, the rare pink marble stones, world-renowned for its beauty and strength. A total of 4 lakh square foot of the precious stone is being used in temple construction. The Bansi Pahadpur Sandstone has been used in various grand structures of the country, including the Akshardham Temple, the Parliament Complex and the Lal Quila of Agra. Steel or bricks would not be used in the construction of the Ram Mandir.
