Claim: Images of Ram Mandir which is being constructed in Ayodhya.

Fact: The images actually show the main complex of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple which is under construction. The images have nothing to do with the Ram Temple which is being constructed in Ayodhya. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.

The reverse image search of the photos in the post led us to a news article dated 03 October 2020 which carried the same image. According to the article, the image is of the main complex of Kashi Vishwanath temple in UP which is under construction. In the article, it can be seen that the picture is attributed to ‘HT Photo’. This confirms that the image is not of the Ram Temple which is being constructed in Ayodhya.

We could not find any news articles or official government press releases sharing similar images attributing them to Ram Temple of Ayodhya. Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, which is the official trust set up by the government of India for the construction and management of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, through a tweet on 09 October 2020 shared few images related to the latest development of the construction of the temple which can be seen here.

As far as the latest development regarding the construction of the temple is concerned, Nripendra Mishra, Chairman of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee on 31 October 2020 said that they are awaiting a report from IIT Chennai regarding the strength of the three pillars in the foundation of the temple.  

To sum it up, these images are of Kashi Vishwanath Temple which is under construction. They are not related to Ayodhya Ram Mandir.
