ऐसा बनने वाला हैं हमारा राम मंदिर
ऐसा दिखेगा हमारे राम लला का स्थान तो चुप क्यों हो

Fact Check:

Some picture messages doing rounds online in various versions allege to show how the proposed Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will look like after completion. The picture(s) appears to show the structure and design of the historic and renowned Ram Mandir in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is not so, the picture in fact shows a Photoshop version of a temple of ISKCON in West Bengal.

Not the Proposed Ram Mandir in Ayodhya

The picture(s) messages are doing rounds on WhatsApp and other social media platforms since at least 2015, claiming to show the design of the historic Ram temple. However, what it shows is in fact a Photoshop version of the new Temple of Vedic Planetarium (ToVP) ISKON built in Mayapur, Kolkata, West Bengal. The world headquarters of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) is one of the largest temples in world. The video below shows the temple construction, the main attraction in Mayapur.

On the other hand, Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is likely to be largely based on VHP’s Ram Janmabhooml Temple model designed by Chandrakant Sompura. The Sri Ramjanmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is looking at various designs and layouts for the entire temple complex. Reports suggest the initial plans of the temple construction are enhanced in terms of area and scale. They also mention the historic temple construction at Ayodhya is expected to be one among the top three largest Hindu temples in the world.
