Shri Ram Janambhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust treasurer, Govind Dev Giri, told reporters, “The fund-raising campaign has ended with generous contributions from all cross-sections of the people, including residents of far-flung villages of India, blurring religious barriers. Total donations received has crossed Rs 2,100 crore by Saturday evening.”

Anil Misra, a member of the Trust said, “The budget for building the temple complex is not final and this will be known only after the construction is complete.”
