Mahant Kamal Nayan Das, the spokesperson of Trust's president Nritya Gopal Das, told after the meeting, "We have suggested two auspicious dates - August 3 and 5 - for the Prime Minister's visit based on calculations of movements of stars and planets."
General Secretary of the Trust Champat Rai said soon after the Monsoon season, the Ram temple trust will contact 10 crore families across the country for financial help and it will take three to three-and-half years after the finalisation of the temple's design to complete its construction.
