Scope : To Build a "Museum of Temples" in the Temple Town of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.
Tata Sons will build a "museum of temples" in the temple town of Ayodhya at a cost of Rs 650 crore, with the Uttar Pradesh cabinet giving a green signal to the project.
The conglomerate will be given the lease of the land for 90 years at a token amount of Re 1.
The state-of-the-art museum will meet international standards and showcase the history and architecture of famous temples in India.
Tata Sons had proposed the project through the central government, offering to build the museum at a cost of Rs 650 crore under its corporate social responsibility fund.
The idea was mooted last year and CM Adityanath as well as senior officials made a presentation on it before Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The prime minister liked the idea of the temple museum very much and it was discussed in detail.
There will also be a set up for a light-and-sound show at the proposed museum.
