If the matter pertains to construction, I would have to be present.“Please understand, we are ex-officio directors without voting rights. We provide our views on relevant subjects. After I know the agenda, I will decide whether to attend,” Misra said.When asked about the agenda of the July 22 meeting, he suggested that this question should be directed to the general secretary of the temple trust.He also said a new gallery will be created to showcase Lord Ram’s journeys through India’s rivers.“This will be an entire gallery dedicated to the divine darshan, where we’ll take visitors to the museum, from the ground floor of the Ram Lalla temple to Kuber Tila,” he said.“It’s immersive. It feels as if you’re standing there, and the filming will be done using that technology. All decisions have been made, and it’s a four-month project. I think photography will begin in two weeks,” Misra added.
