Huge crowd is expected to visit the temple…
On Wednesday, the Ram temple in Ayodhya will remain open for 19 hours starting from Mangala Aarti at 3.30 a.m. till 11 p.m.
Curtains of the temple will be drawn for five minutes each during the four 'Bhog' offerings to Lord Rama.
These arrangements are being made on the occasion of Ram Navami.
In Ayodhya, many devotees are expected on the first Ram Navami after the consecration ceremony.
The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has appealed to distinguished guests to visit Ayodhya for the darshan of Ram Lalla only after April 19.
It has also cancelled all special pass bookings for Darshan and Aarti of Ram Lalla from April 16 and 18 due to Ram Navami. Everyone will need to follow the same path as other devotees to enter the Ram Mandir, said a member of Trust.
"On the day of Ram Navami, starting at 3:30 a.m. during the Brahma Muhurta, arrangements will be in place for the devotees to queue up for darshan. Devotees can do darshan of Ram Lalla till 11 p.m.," it added.
To avoid inconvenience and wastage of time during darshan, devotees have been advised not to bring their mobile phones and other valuable things with them.
The trust at Sugreev Quila has made a service center for pilgrims. Public broadcaster Prasar Bharati will telecast the celebrations at Ram Mandir on Doordarshan.
