Ayodhya, February 19, 2026: Alongside the magnificent Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, devotees are set to receive another grand gift. A state-of-the-art, international-standard museum is rapidly taking shape within the temple complex, with a target to open for the public by September 2026. This museum is not merely an exhibition center but a living experience of Indian culture, history, and the epic saga of Lord Ram.
Nripendra Misra, Chairman of the Ram Temple Construction Committee, stated that the museum will house a total of 20 galleries. these will depict every aspect of history, ranging from the Ramayana era to the construction of the current temple. The crown jewel of these attractions will be the dedicated 'Hanuman Gallery,' being developed by an expert team from IIT Madras.
The Experience: This gallery will utilize cutting-edge 3D and 7D technology, allowing visitors to experience the pivotal episodes of Lord Hanuman's life—his devotion, strength, and valor. Scenes ranging from the Lanka Dahan (burning of Lanka) to the bringing of the Sanjeevani herb will be brought to life vividly.
The primary goal of this museum is to introduce the new generation to the ideals of Lord Ram, the values of the Ramayana, and the glorious history of Ayodhya.
Historical Evidence: Archaeological remains discovered during the temple's construction, artifacts, and important documents related to the temple movement will be displayed here.
Art and Culture: The museum will also showcase the Indian art, architecture, and craftsmanship inherent in the Ram Mandir's structure.
The construction of the museum is proceeding in phases. The participation of premier institutions like IIT Madras ensures that this museum will be a magnificent confluence of modern technology and ancient Indian wisdom.
Tourism: It will play a vital role in establishing Ayodhya as a premier global destination for spiritual and cultural tourism.
