According to reports a time capsule was found in 1989 under the base of the structure where the present temple will be built. It was reportedly burried by the then "Vishva Hindu Parishad" Chief, Ashok Singhal. The inscription will be made of copper because it is an element that doesn't rust moreover, remains intact for thousands of years even if burried beneath surface.
