The temple will be open for eight hours, from 8 am to 1 pm, then from 3 pm to 6 pm.
The devotees will have to wear masks and maintain social distancing and only five persons will be allowed to enter the premises at a time and the Covid-19 protocols will be followed.
Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, said, “The local administration has allowed the opening of temples, including the Ram Janmabhoomi, in Ayodhya for devotees from Monday.
“The devotees can have darshan of Ram Lalla from a distance of 15 metres. No prasad is allowed, so neither can devotees offer prasad to the deity nor they will be given any prasad by the priests,” he added.
