In anticipation of the upcoming consecration event in Ayodhya scheduled for January 22, there has been a surge in global interest for replicas of the Ram Mandir models. Aditya Singh, the proprietor of the manufacturing facility responsible for crafting these models, shared with ANI, “Over the past three years, our operations have expanded. Initially, orders predominantly originated from within India, but now, they are pouring in from foreign nations, as well as various domestic entities such as the police, court, electricity department, and CBI branch. The demand extends to models sought by religious figures and for ceremonial occasions like weddings.”
