This was conducted on the occasion of Ram Navami.

Ayodhya:

The Rama temple in Ayodhya will remain open for 19 hours starting from Mangala Aarti at 3.30 am on Wednesday till 11 pm and the curtains of the temple will be closed each time during the four ‘bhog’ offerings to the Lord five minutes.

This is being done on the occasion of Ram Navami and in view of the large number of devotees expected after the consecration of the first Ram Navami in Ayodhya join.

Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has issued a call for distinguished guests to travel to Ayodhya after April 19 for Ram Lalla darshan.

It has also canceled all special pass bookings for Darshan and Aarti at Ram Lalla between April 16 and 18. The trust said everyone needs to follow the same path as other devotees to enter the Ram Mandir.

“On the day of Ram Navami, queues will be arranged for devotees to have darshan from 3:30 am during Brahma Muhurta. Devotees can enjoy darshan of Ram Lalla till 11 pm,” it added.

To avoid inconvenience and waste of time during darshan, devotees are advised not to carry mobile phones and other valuables.

The Sugreev Qula Trust has established a service center for pilgrims. Public broadcaster Prasar Bharati will broadcast the celebrations at Ram Mandir in Doordarshan live.

According to the trust, the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation will install around 100 LED screens across Ayodhya for live broadcasting of the Ram Navami celebrations at the Ram Temple.
