AYODHYA/LUCKNOW: The
Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir
at Ayodhya is witnessing an average of 1 to 1.5 lakh pilgrims daily, the
temple trust
said in a post on ‘X’ on Wednesday.
In an advisory to
devotees
coming for darshan at the temple, the
Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra
said, “Devotees can enter the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir for Darshan from 6.30 am to 9.30 pm. The entire process from entry to exit after Darshan at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir is extremely simple and convenient.
Typically, devotees can have a smooth Darshan of Prabhu Shri Ram Lalla Sarkar within 60 to 75 minutes.”
The temple trust advised devotees to leave their mobile phones, footwear, purses and other personal items outside the Mandir premises for their convenience and to save time.
Additionally, the temple trust has advised against bringing flowers, garlands, and prasad to the temple.
Giving directions to devotees for Aarti, the temple trust said, “Entry for Mangala
Aarti
at 4 AM, Shringar Aarti at 6:15 AM, and Shayan Aarti at 10 pm is possible only with an
entry pass
. No entry passes required for other Aartis.”
“Information such as the devotee’s name, age, Aadhar card, mobile number, and city is required for the entry pass. This entry pass can also be obtained from the website of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. The entry pass is free of charge,” it added.
The temple trust clarified that there is no provision for ‘special darshan’ by paying a fee or through a ‘special pass’, cautioning devotees against falling for scams.
“If you ever hear about paying for Darshan, it might be a scam attempt. The Mandir management has no connection to this,” temple trust warned.
The temple trust informed that wheelchair service is available for the elderly and differently-abled individuals exclusively within the temple premises. “These wheelchairs are intended solely for use within the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir premises, not for Ayodhya city or any other Mandir. There is no rental fee for the wheelchair, but a nominal fee is to be given to the young volunteer assisting with the wheelchair,” it said.
The ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya’s historic temple took place on January 22, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi performing the Vedic rituals alongside a group of priests.
