Shortlist and Capacity Building

Eighteen applicants have been shortlisted for the interview stage, a number chosen after a preliminary selection process conducted by the Trust’s board. The group has been briefed on the event’s objectives and the ethical framework guiding the temple’s operations.[1][2]

The 34‑Question Criterion

The interviewers will pose a series of 34 questions designed to gauge candidates' vision for administration, religious sensitivity, fan engagement, and regional development. Each question is aimed at probing both practical management skills and the ability to represent the temple’s spiritual mission.[3]

Decision Authority of the Trust

While the executive team will conduct the interviews, the final decision on hiring rests exclusively with the Trust’s board. The board retains ultimate discretion over the appointment, ensuring that strategic leadership remains aligned with the Trust’s vision.[3]

Candidates Including Former Office Holders

Among the applicants is a former district magistrate of Ayodhya, whose public service background has attracted attention in local media. His involvement illustrates the Trust’s openness to leaders experienced in governance and administrative reforms.[1]
