Ayodhya/Lucknow: Bimalendra Mohan Pratap Mishra , a key member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra and a scion of Ayodhya's erstwhile royal family, passed away late Saturday. He was 71. According to family members, Mishra's health started deteriorating after surgery on his leg.
Condoling his passing, UP CM Yogi Adityanath wrote on X, "The demise of Ram temple trust member and head of Raj Sadan in Ayodhya is extremely sad. I pray to Lord Ram to give place to the departed soul in his lotus feet & give strength to the bereaved family to bear this immense sorrow."
After Supreme Court's final verdict on the Ayodhya dispute , Mishra was appointed 'receiver' of the temple, a role previously held by the Ayodhya commissioner.
In addition to his contribution to the temple trust, Mishra also had a brief political career. He contested the 2009 parliamentary election from the Faizabad (Ayodhya) Lok Sabha constituency as a BSP candidate but was unsuccessful.
Mishra also donated his own land for construction of the grand Ram temple and road corridors needed during the city's makeover. tnn
