Devotees throng Ram temple prototype for glimpse

Ayodhya, Apr 4: The exquisite model of the proposed Ram temple is a big draw among devotees visiting Ayodhya for the ongoing Chaitra Ramnavmi Mela.

The thermocol model laced with marble powder and adorned with 51,000 miniature bulbs is housed at the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) headquarters, Karsewakpuram.
