Ayodhya, Feb 18 (PTI) The idols of Ram Lalla which are kept at the sanctum sanctorum of a makeshift temple here will be shifted as construction of the Ram temple will begin from the site, the Ram Janmabhoomi temple's chief priest said on Tuesday.
The idols will shifted to a place 200 metres away from the makeshift temple, priest Acharya Satyendra Das said.
