Jagran Correspondent, Ayodhya: Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust on Wednesday held a second meeting and formed a religious committee with several members, including five seers from Ayodhya as its members.
The religious committee has been entrusted to oversee all religious programs at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, including rituals, worship, and annual religious events.
The seers from Ayodhya included in the religious committee are:
- Mahant Kamal Nayan Das Maharaj (Maniram Chhavani)
- Ramanand Das Maharaj (Ramkatha Kunj)

The members of the religious committee, representing the trust, include Jagadguru Vasudevanand Maharaj, Swami Parmanand Maharaj, Vishwaprasanna Maharaj (Pejawar Peeth, Udupi) and Govind Dev Giri, the temple treasurer. In addition, the trust has decided to appoint a spokesperson.
CEO selection in one month
This is the second meeting of the trust since the theft of the donation came to light. An earlier meeting was held on July 7, where a three-member panel was formed to identify and submit the names for the final selection of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The meeting also discussed the selection of the CEO. The Trust has received a large number of applications for the top executive post of the temple, and hence it was decided to give an additional month to complete the selection process. The next meeting of the Trust will be held on September 2. By that time, the picture on the selection and appointment of the CEO is likely to be completed.
