In an exclusive interview with CSIR CBRI scientists, we delve into the scientific aspects of the construction of the Ayodhya Ram Temple. With a rich historical and religious significance, the temple holds more than religious sentiments. The scientists shed light on the intricate design, engineering marvels, and sustainable construction techniques incorporated in the construction of this iconic structure. The CSIR CBRI scientists bring their expertise and research to the table, examining the structural integrity of the temple and the materials used. They discuss the importance of selecting appropriate materials that not only match the aesthetic appeal but also withstand the test of time.

From studying the properties of stones to conducting comprehensive tests, these scientists provide insights into the meticulous process of material selection. Furthermore, the scientists explain the architectural techniques employed in the temple’s construction. They emphasize the importance of sustainable design, incorporating elements that promote energy efficiency and eco-friendliness. The integration of modern technology with traditional architectural styles becomes a focal point of discussion, as the scientists highlight the seamless blend of ancient wisdom and contemporary innovation. The interview also explores the seismic vulnerability of the region and the measures taken to ensure the temple’s resilience against earthquakes.

The scientists discuss the seismic design considerations undertaken during the construction, providing valuable insights into how the temple stands as a testament to both its cultural significance and structural safety. Additionally, the interview highlights the collaborative efforts between CSIR CBRI scientists, archaeologists, and architects. These interdisciplinary collaborations have played a crucial role in unraveling the historical and cultural significance of the temple, further contributing to the scientific understanding of this architectural marvel.

In an enlightening study conducted by scientists from the CSIR-CBRI (Central Building Research Institute), they shed light on the construction science behind the Ayodhya Ram Temple, specifically focusing on the Surya Tilak design. The Surya Tilak design is a significant aspect of the temple’s architecture, as it represents the sun, symbolizing power and divinity. This intricate design consists of a circular pattern with rays emanating from the center, resembling the sun’s radiant energy. According to the scientists, the Surya Tilak design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also serves important functional purposes. To achieve the desired design and functionality, the scientists utilized advanced techniques like 3D modeling, structural analysis, and computational simulations. They studied the materials used in the construction of the temple and analyzed their properties to ensure the design’s stability and longevity.
