00:00 Since 1992, this workshop was started after the Ayodhya movement.
00:07 The work of the temple was started here.
00:10 Despite the court's ban and all the obstacles in the movement,
00:15 the work continued in this workshop even after those circumstances.
00:19 And here, everything from the work of the leaves to the clay, everything was done.
00:24 It took 32-33 years to complete the work.
