Proposed mosque in Ayodhya gets a new name and design

The Hindu  

The proposed mosque in Ayodhya, which awaits its first brick to be laid for almost four years after the Supreme Court settled the Babri mosque dispute, now gets a new name and design after objections from the community on its previous ‘contemporary’ style. This is when we decided to change the design,” said Zufar Ahmad Faruqi, Uttar Pradesh Chairman of the Sunni Waqf Board, who, in a public meet in Mumbai’s Rang Sharada Hall on Thursday, unveiled the new design, which is prepared by a Pune-based architect, Imran Sheikh. “The name of the mosque, to be spread across over 4,500 square metres, will be Mohammad Bin Abdullah,” Mr. Faruqi said. Speaking about when the mosque construction will start, Mr. Faruqi said that he had unveiled the new design to people in Mumbai.
