The temple trust has come up with many changes including extending the viewing time in Ayodhya’s Ram temple with the increase in the flow of devotees.
The Prana Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya was held on 22nd of last month, and with this, lakhs of devotees reach the temple every day. There have been reports that many people are unable to even enter the temple due to the crowd. With this, the temple trust and the government have prepared various arrangements. The authorities had implemented several arrangements including extending the darshan time of Ramlalla, the main deity of the temple.
But now the trust has made some changes in the darshan timings of Ramlallah. The authorities have informed 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.
Ramlalla is like a five-year-old boy. At present the viewing time of Lord is around 12 hours. Rest is essential for Ramalalla. Therefore, Acharya Satyendra Das told the media that it has been decided to close the shrine from 12:30 to 12:30 in the afternoon. Earlier, the time for visiting Ramlalla 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 from 4 am and then the shrine was closed two hours late.
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 closed from 1.30 pm to 3.30 pm.
