Mishra was picked after interviews in August, making it to the final three recommended by a search committee; so transparency was clearly a priority here.
He arrived in Ayodhya on Sunday and took charge on Monday morning after offering prayers at the temple.
The trust says this move is part of bigger changes to strengthen how things run behind the scenes.
