Ram Lalla darshan timings changed, chief priest with big decision

AYODHYA: The Prana Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya was held on the 22nd of last month. After this, the crowd reaching the temple shrine swelled with every passing day making it impossible for the authorities to manage the rush.

There have been reports that many people were even denied entry into the temple due to the rush. With this, the temple trust and the government adopted various means to allay the rush. The authorities had implemented several arrangements including extending the darshan time of Ram Lalla, the main deity of the temple.

However now, the authorities have informed us that the temple will be closed for an hour in the afternoon. Officials also informed that the new schedule will be implemented from Friday. This is according to the instructions of Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of the temple.

“Ram Lalla is a five-year-old boy. At present, the darshan time of the Lord is around 12 hours. Rest is essential for Ram Lalla.” Therefore, Acharya Satyendra Das told the media that it had been decided to close the shrine from 12:30 to 1:30 in the afternoon. Earlier, the time for visiting Ram Lalla was extended from 6:00 in the morning to 10:00 in the night.

Meanwhile, in connection with the special puja at the temple on January 23, the darshan started at 4 am and then the shrine was closed two hours late at night.

Meanwhile, before the Prana Pratishtha ceremony, the temple was opened at 7 in the morning and closed at 6 in the evening. The temple was also closed from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
