SP MP Awadhesh Prasad demands honouring of Ram Mandir artisans, labourers

Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad calls for public recognition of the labourers and artisans who built the Ayodhya Ram Temple.

"The labourers and artisans... should be honoured. - Awadhesh Prasad"

Ayodhya, January 6

Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad on Monday demanded honouring of the artisans and labourers responsible for the construction of Shree Ram Janmabhoomi temple in Ayodhya.

He said that a list of Ram Mandir labourers and artisans should be displayed at the temple premises so that tourists and devotees visiting the temple can recognise them.

"The labourers and artisans of our country have played a very big role in this, but they are not getting the respect they deserve...I demand from the government that those artisans and labourers who built this temple with great hard work should be honoured. Their list should be put up so that when people from the country and the world come to visit the Ram temple, they can see which labourers, artists, and artisans contributed to it. This will keep their morale high," Prasad told ANI.

The Ayodhya MP stated that he visited the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi temple and conveyed the New Year greetings from Lord Ram to the citizens.

"I visited and worshipped the Ram Janmabhoomi temple with my family and conveyed new year greetings from Lord Ram to the people...The construction of the Ram temple has been done very well; this temple of Lord Ram will stand for thousands and thousands of years," Prasad added.

Last month, Ayodhya's Ram Mandir celebrated its second anniversary of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, which Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attended.

Speaking at the event, Rajnath Singh described the moment as one of historic pride and spiritual fulfilment for the nation.

Addressing the gathering, Singh recalled the significance of the consecration of Lord Ram, stating, "Two years ago from today, our Lord Shri Ram, after centuries of waiting, was consecrated in His divine temple. With His wondrous and radiant image, He is today bestowing glory not only upon Ayodhya but upon the entire world."

He said that the spiritual atmosphere of Ayodhya reflects the deep emotional bond people share with Lord Ram.

"Today, every lane, every square, every doorway, every breath of Ayodhya is imbued with Ram and filled with joy. This joy is not confined merely to Ayodhya. Today, the entire Awadh region, today the whole of Bharatvarsha, and today every heart in the world that knows Ram, honours Ram," Singh said.

Finally, someone is talking about the real heroes! The artisans and labourers are the backbone of this magnificent structure. A plaque with their names is the least we can do. A wonderful gesture.

While I agree the workers should be honoured, this feels like political posturing. The focus should remain on the spiritual significance of the temple, not on creating lists for political credit. Let's keep it sacred.

Absolutely correct! In our culture, we honour the *Vishwakarma* (the divine architect). These modern-day Vishwakarmas built this temple with their hands and hearts. Their contribution is priceless. 👷‍♂️🛠️

Visiting Ayodhya was a profound experience. The temple's architecture is stunning. Honouring the craftsmen who built it would add another layer of meaning for international visitors like myself. A great idea.

Good point. But the honour should be substantive, not just symbolic. I hope this leads to proper financial rewards, pensions, or skill recognition for these workers, not just a name on a wall.
