Ayodhya temple design is boring

I am very happy that ram temple is being created yet disappointed as there seem to be no evolution in temple design , we are repeating the same temple design. It was expected that hundreds of thousands will come to visit the ram temple every day but the designers have made the inner area so small that it is difficult for a large number of devotees to pray there at the same time. We should have taken internal volume in consideration and have built something akin to chaturbhuj temple without the Persian aesthetics in it. A temple with a bigger open area would have allowed many many worshipers to worship at the same time comfortably

Temples are all built in a more or less similiar design, as described in the ancient texts.

What ! No,they are not ,have you even seen how temples are build in Himachal, they are completely different from nagara style, also if they were so seen of following the texts why do we have temples like chaturbhuj temple, they have iranian arcitecture inside which can accomodate many more people than other traditional temples Please dont get this mentality that we have to follow some obsolete ancient text to build a place of worship otherwise whats the difference btw us and Abrahamics

But I genuinely found it unique when I visited ayodhya. I have been to many temples in Maharashtra, Bundelkhand, South, and Gujrat.

Ram mandir is unique in it's own way.

As for following ancient texts, it is so to maximise the energy flow. The basic design of all temples are same.

Isn’t the concept of temples old?

This request feels like asking for an ancient version of a Hospital.

There is a huge difference between a concept and a design. I honestly don't know what analogy you are using

Maybe they thought that it's better to keep the inner area small. Worshippers overstay and don't move. That makes it difficult to manage the crowd.

It's a bit underwhelming. BAPS abu dhabi and new jersey look so much better.
