Ram Navami: Ayodhya’s Ram temple to remain open for 19 hours
Ayodhya : The Ram temple in Ayodhya is set to welcome devotees for an extended period of 19 hours, commencing from the auspicious Mangala Aarti at 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday until 11 p.m. The temple curtains will briefly close for five minutes during each of the four ‘bhog’ offerings to Lord Ram.
This arrangement is made in celebration of Ram Navami and anticipates a significant influx of devotees, marking the first Ram Navami in Ayodhya following the consecration ceremony.
The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has urged esteemed guests to plan their visit for Ram Lalla’s darshan after April 19. Additionally, all special pass bookings for Darshan and Aarti of Ram Lalla between April 16 and 18 have been canceled. Visitors are requested to follow the standard entry procedure like other devotees.
Starting from the auspicious Brahma Muhurta at 3:30 a.m. on Ram Navami, devotees can queue up for darshan until 11 p.m. To streamline the darshan experience and prevent delays, devotees are advised not to carry mobile phones or valuables.
The Trust has established a pilgrim service center at Sugreev Quila, and the celebrations at Ram Mandir will be broadcast live by public broadcaster Prasar Bharati on Doordarshan.
The Ayodhya Municipal Corporation, in collaboration with the trust, will install approximately 100 LED screens across Ayodhya for live telecast of Ram Navami celebrations at the Ram temple.
