The priests at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple being constructed will receive a comprehensive range of facilities. Their salary will be enhanced, in addition to providing them with access to government medical services. Moreover, suitable housing arrangements will be made available, and they will be granted trust-sanctioned leaves as well.

Promising times are on the horizon for the priests of Ram Janmabhoomi. Preparations are currently underway to extend best-in-class amenities to both the priests and staff members. Acharya Satyendra Das, the leading figure behind the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi project, revealed that the Shri Ram Mandir Trust is poised to furnish government-grade provisions to those dedicated to serving Lord Ram.
