The Ram Temple in Ayodhya is once again in focus. After the consecration of Ram Lalla on January 22, 2024, the temple is now preparing for the installation of Rajaram on its first floor. A three-day Pran Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony will be held from June 3 to June 5.
Entry Restrictions
In view of the upcoming Pran Pratishtha, the Ram Mandir Trust has issued updated entry guidelines. On June 5, no special passes—including Vishisht and Sugam Darshan passes—will be valid. Devotees will not be allowed entry into the temple premises that day.
The installation of Ram Darbar will be led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The presence of VIPs and VVIPs has prompted these restrictions for crowd control and security purposes.
Rituals and Celebrations
The three-day ceremony will include consecration rituals not only for the Ram Darbar but also for smaller temples built along the temple's ramparts. Devotees unable to attend in person will be able to view the ceremonies online.
Preparations in Full Swing
Preparations for the Pran Pratishtha Mahotsav are nearing completion. A group of 101 Vedic scholars from across India will lead the rituals. In the lead-up to the main event, a traditional Kalash Yatra will be carried out by women, starting from Saryu Ghat and ending at the temple.

Ram Darbar at Ayodhya Temple opens for public darshan

Ayodhya: Devotees from across the country are thronging Ayodhya as the first floor of the Ram Temple -- transformed into a grand Ram Darbar -- was officially opened for public darshan on Saturday. The decision to open the sanctified first floor was taken by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust after consultations with the local administration. To manage the expected surge in footfall, a pass system has been introduced, similar to that is used for Ram Lalla's darshan. Only a limited number of visitors were allowed on Saturday, with 300 passes allocated across two time slots -- from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Of these, 150 passes are managed by the district administration and the remaining 150 by the temple trust. The 300 passes for each slot are further categorised into 100 'Special Darshan' and 50 'Easy Access Darshan' passes to streamline the flow and accommodate those with special needs. Despite the intense summer heat, long queues of enthusiastic devotees were seen outside the temple premises. Many expressed a deep sense of fulfilment and spiritual joy upon reaching the temple. "We have been standing here for an hour now, but we are happy to be here. It's very hot, but we want to have darshan of Ram Lalla," said one devotee, patiently waiting in the queue. Another added, "After coming here, all the tiredness goes away. Even after a long journey in this heat, we feel blessed." The newly unveiled Ram Darbar features a majestic idol of Lord Ram in his royal form, flanked by idols of Sita, Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughan, and Hanuman, set in a regal tableau that showcases the grandeur of the divine court. Earlier, on June 5, the consecration of the Ram Darbar was marked by the installation of eight idols in newly constructed temples within the complex. These include Lord Shiva in the northeast, Lord Ganesha in the southeast, Lord Hanuman in the southern wing, Surya (Sun God) in the southwest, Goddess Bhagwati in the northwest, and Goddess Annapurna in the northern wing -- each placed according to traditional Vastu principles.

Ram Darbar darshan for devotees likely in 10-15 days, says Misra

Devotees eager to visit the recently unveiled Ram Darbar on the first floor of the Ram temple in Ayodhya may soon have their wish granted. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is planning to allow darshan of the Ram Darbar within the next 10 to 15 days. However, due to security concerns, the Trust will issue only a limited number of passes daily. According to Nripendra Misra, chairman of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee, the Trust will take a decision on the issue soon. 'Devotees are likely to be allowed to visit Ram Darbar in the next 10 days,' Misra said in Ayodhya. He added that the Trust has held detailed discussions with representatives from the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI, Roorkee) regarding the arrangements for the darshan. Ram Darbar consists of the idols of Lord Ram and Mata Sita seated on a throne with Hanuman and Bharat depicted in a prayerful posture at their feet and Lakshman and Shatrughan standing beside them. The Ram Mandir Construction Committee has tasked CBRI, Roorkee, with conducting monthly reviews of the temple's ongoing construction work. 'The Trust is making comprehensive arrangements for the darshan, ensuring that devotees can have a smooth and fulfilling experience,' Misra added. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath presided over the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Darbar on June 5. However, devotees have not yet been permitted to visit the Ram Darbar yet due to security concerns. 'Construction work of the Ram Mandir is almost complete with Ram Lalla installed on the ground floor and his family on the first floor. The second floor will house rare and significant scriptures related to Lord Ram,' said Trust general secretary Champat Rai on Saturday. Jaipur-based sculptor Satya Narain Pandey and his team have crafted the Ram Darbar made of white makrana marble. 'The sculpting of the Ram Darbar took approximately three months. During this phase, artisans performed daily prayers and rituals,' Pandey said. Govt institutions' key role in construction: The construction of the Ram Mandir was a collaborative effort with support and expertise from various government institutions. IIT and CBRI: These institutions provided invaluable technical expertise and support to the project. Railway ministry: The ministry of railways played a role in the construction. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI): An ASI team is currently conducting a survey of the area where Ram Lalla was previously housed in a tent. Defence ministry: An organisation under the ministry of defence is working on the titanium lattice, a crucial component for the temple. The trust is making payments to all the institutions involved. Pushkarni and Panchavati The Ram Temple complex will encompass several notable features, including: Pushkarni: A sacred water tank, centrally located within the Saptarishi (seven sages) area. Panchavati: A natural area that will be preserved in its original state, allowing animals and birds to benefit from the surroundings.
