In the serene city of Ayodhya, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir stands as a lighthouse of devotion and spirituality that attracts pilgrims from all corners of the country. As the sacred site continues to witness a steady stream of devotees, the Mandir’s management has laid out comprehensive guidelines to ensure a seamless and enriching experience for all visitors.
Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra in its tweet that the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir opens its gates for Darshan from 6:30 am to 9:30 pm for an average of 1 to 1.5 lakh pilgrims every day. This allows the devotees ample time to pay their respects to Prabhu Shri Ram. The entire process, from entry till exit after Darshan is streamlined to be simple and convenient. The overall darshan typically takes not more than 60 to 75 minutes for devotees on an average.
It is further stated that those who are seeking to participate in the early morning Aartis, including Mangala Aarti which is scheduled at 4 am and Shringar Aarti at 6:15 am, an entry pass is mandatory. Similarly, entry passes are also necessary for the Shayan Aarti at 10 pm. The pass is free of charge and can be taken from the official website of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Other than the mentioned Aarties, no entry passes are required throughout the day. Thus, to facilitate a hassle-free experience, devotees are advised to leave their mobile phones, footwear, purses, and other belongings outside the Mandir premises for safety purposes. This not only ensures convenience but also helps in saving time during the complete visit. Additionally, it is requested that devotees refrain from bringing flowers, garlands, prasad, or any offerings to the Mandir.
Thus, in order to obtain an entry pass, devotees are required to provide essential information like their name, age, Aadhar card details, contact number, along with the city of their residence. There is no chance for any special Darshan by paying any fee/ any special pass at the Mandir. Any such claims that suggest otherwise can be fraudulent and do not associate with the Mandir management.
Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra also notified that, for the convenience of elderly and specially abled devotees, wheelchairs are available within the Mandir premises. These wheelchairs are free of charge and are intended solely for use within the Mandir premises. Those willing to give a nominal fee to the young volunteers assisting with the wheelchairs can do so at their will.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir management aims to ensure a fulfilling and spiritually uplifting experience for all visiting devotees. By adhering to these guidelines and cooperating with the Mandir authorities, devotees can enjoy the divine atmosphere of devotion and reverence.
As devotees continue to gather at the sacred grounds of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, the management endeavours to enhance the overall visitor experience by providing additional amenities and services.

Visitor Information Center: Pilgrims who need any assistance or have any queries during their visit, can visit a visitor information centre that is established near the entrance of the Mandir.
