721-Foot Ram Temple, World’s Tallest, To Be Constructed In Perth
Spearheaded by the Shri Ram Vedic and Cultural Trust, the monumental project, estimated to cost around ₹ 600 crore, will be spread across 150 acres.
Perth in Australia will soon be home to the world’s tallest Ram temple – the colossal structure will be approximately 721 feet tall. Spearheaded by the ShriRam Vedic and Cultural Trust, the monumental project, estimated to cost around ₹ 600 crore, will be spread across 150 acres.
Dr Harendra Rana, the deputy head of the Trust, revealed that the project extends beyond the conventional concept of a temple. The International ShriRam Vedic And Cultural Union (ISVACU) which is overseeing the project has envisioned the temple as a multifaceted hub encompassing cultural, spiritual, and community activities.
Accessible from River Road, the temple complex will feature impressive elements like a candle porch, Chitrakoot Vatika and Panchvati Vatika gardens, and a proposed Ram Niwas hotel. Cultural spaces like Sita Rasoi restaurant, Ramayana Sadan Library, and Tulsidas Hall will add to the comprehensive design.
The temple will house spiritual spaces, including a yoga court, a meditation court, a Veda learning centre, a research centre, and a museum. Some technological aspects will also be incorporated into the temple, with areas like the technology garden Environmental sustainability is set to take centre stage through the inclusion of a bio-sewage treatment plant and a solar power plant, ensuring a “zero carbon footprint”, the Trust said.
Beyond its role as a spiritual centre, the temple complex will be a vibrant cultural space. ISVACU plans to organise cultural shows, celebrate festivals, and host holistic well-being programmes, fostering community engagement and inclusivity. (For Information Purpose Only)
