Ram Navami 2024: A Look At The Plans In Ayodhya, From Ram Mandir Timings To Parking Facilities

Every year on the ninth day of Chaitra Shukla Paksha, people celebrate Ram Navami. Ram Navami will be observed on April 17 this year. Hindus believe that today is the day when Lord Ram was born, hence, they celebrate Ram Navami with great fanfare across the nation. With Lord Ram returning to his birthplace after almost 500 years, Ayodhya is getting ready for the event that is coming up. In order to commemorate this event and see Lord Ram at the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, an estimated 50 lakh devoted devotees from all over the globe would go to Ayodhya. There are a few things to be aware of if you also want to visit the old temple.

The temple trust is arranging for more and more devotees to be able to attend the temple and get a hassle-free darshan of their Lord with the assistance of the local authorities. Champat Rai, the General Secretary of Ram Mandir Trust, presided over a meeting to make sure the inaugural Ram Navami in the Lord’s presence was magnificent and wonderful.

The officials made a significant choice to keep the mandir open for a longer period of time since they anticipated a massive surge in the next few days. According to reports, the temple would remain open for 20 hours at the request of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Therefore, instead of being open for the regular 14 hours on April 16, 17, and 18, the temple’s doors will be open for 20 hours.

Authorities are ensuring that guests do not experience any disruption as the city prepares for the Rama Navami celebration. About thirty locations have parking available for devotees who are coming to the city for darshan. Once your own automobiles have arrived, it will be more convenient to use the local transportation system. In Ayodhya, devotees may conveniently use e-rickshaws and electric buses for their daily commutes.

Additionally, transporting certain goods within the Ram Mandir grounds has been prohibited by authorities. These items include phones, wallets, chargers, and other electronic devices. At the temple, monetary donations are accepted. Don’t forget to put your bags in the hotel or the locker. You’ll also save time by doing this.

At the Ram Mandir Temple, worshipers will be able to serve prasad for free. Should you bring fruits, flowers, or other items linked to puja to the temple, they will be gathered beforehand and presented to the Lord. It is forbidden to give something directly to the Lord.

We have some excellent news if you are intending to fly into the city for Ram Navami. A special deal is being offered by all airlines in honor of Ram Navami. Given the quantity of Ram enthusiasts planning to go to Ayodhya for Ram Navami, airline firms have lowered their airfares, according to Airport Authority Director Vinod Kumar.

The ticket reportedly cost about Rs 6,783 in the past. The current pricing has been cut to Rs 4,176. The cost of the ticket from Delhi to Ayodhya used to be Rs 4,770. But according to the reports, if you purchase a ticket one day before to April 16, it may cost Rs 3,769. According to reports, the cost of returning to Delhi from Ayodhya between April 18 and April 20 is Rs 3,400. On April 16, the price of the Ahmedabad to Ayodhya ticket was lowered from Rs 6,783 to Rs 4,176.

Devotees from all over the world are anticipating seeing Lord Ram’s aarti at Ayodhya on Ram Navami in preparation for the impending major event. Devotees are eager to witness the preparations made at the temple this year, and the excitement is unparalleled. Prasar Bharati will live webcast the Ayodhya Ram Mandir event so that viewers may see the aarti from the comfort of their own homes, according to General Secretary Champat Rai. To enable everyone to see the show live, the Municipal Corporation plans to deploy LED TVs at around 100 locations across the city. In the sweltering heat, everyone will also get water.

There will be seven queues inside Ram Mandir instead of the usual four in order to prevent congestion. According to sources, it takes around three to four hours to decorate the Lord Ram statue after the Shayan Aarti. Even though it won’t be feasible to take off the decorations after Shayan aarti, plans have been taken to guarantee that devotees have their darshan.

Plans are in place to provide cover from Sugreev Kila all the way to the mandir exit, so that devotees may stay hydrated during the intense heat. In addition, tents and ground coverings will be erected. Water will be accessible from the entrance to the exit at many locations. Authorities are concerned about the possibility of dehydration and diarrhea due to the high temperatures. As a result, ORS powder will be offered.
