The construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is inspiring young minds in a special way. Because it is built purely with stones and no iron, it is becoming an important example of traditional engineering and craftsmanship. Now, this unique construction method may soon become part of the teaching at two leading institutions in Roorkee—IIT Roorkee and Central Building Research Institute (CBRI).
The temple trust has kindly decided to share five years of time-lapse video footage showing daily progress, from laying the foundation in August 2020 to its nearly completed structure expected by December of this year. This footage will help students and researchers learn how beautiful and long-lasting buildings can be crafted without modern materials like iron.
Nripendra Mishra, the chairman of the construction committee, said that when he returns to Delhi, he will invite the heads of these institutes to sign an agreement. With this step, the temple’s story and its scientific craftsmanship can be included in their curriculum and in a documentary.
This move is a brilliant example of how heritage can become a learning tool. Students studying architecture, civil engineering, or science will see how careful planning, creative design and respect for tradition can come together in powerful ways. It shows tradition and modern education working hand in hand to inspire the next generation.
