Ayodhya: Devotees from across the nation are flocking to Ayodhya as the first floor of the newly completed Ram Temple—transformed into a grand Ram Darbar—was officially opened for public darshan on Saturday. The decision to open this sacred level was made by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust after consulting with local authorities.
To accommodate the expected rush, a pass system has been introduced, similar to the one used for Ram Lalla’s darshan. On the first day, only a limited number of visitors were permitted, with 300 passes allocated for two time slots—5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Of these, 150 passes were managed by the district administration and the remaining 150 by the temple trust.
The passes are further categorized into 100 ‘Special Darshan’ and 50 ‘Easy Access Darshan’ tickets to ensure smooth flow and provide facilities for visitors with special needs. Despite the scorching summer heat, long lines of enthusiastic devotees gathered outside the temple, expressing spiritual fulfillment and joy upon reaching the premises.
One devotee waiting patiently in the queue said, “We’ve been standing here for an hour, but we’re happy to be here. It’s very hot, but we want to have darshan of Ram Lalla.” Another added, “After coming here, all the tiredness vanishes. Even after a long journey in this heat, we feel blessed.”
The newly revealed Ram Darbar features a magnificent idol of Lord Ram in royal attire, flanked by statues of Sita, Lakshman, Bharat, Shatrughan, and Hanuman, creating a regal scene that highlights the divine court’s grandeur.
Earlier, on June 5, the Ram Darbar was consecrated with the installation of eight idols within the temple complex. These include Lord Shiva in the northeast, Lord Ganesha in the southeast, Lord Hanuman in the south, Surya (Sun God) in the southwest, Goddess Bhagwati in the northwest, and Goddess Annapurna in the north, all placed according to traditional Vastu principles.
