On the day of the Ram Temple flag hoisting ceremony on November 25, only the invited guests will be able to have darshan of Ram Lalla. Darshan will be closed for general devotees on November 25.

However, darshan of Ram Lalla will begin for devotees at the Shri Ram Temple from 4 am on November 26.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, will unfurl a specially designed saffron flag atop the Ram Temple on November 25 in the presence of over 8,000 guests.

In a meeting with Chief Minister Adityanath yesterday, administrative officials provided this information in response to questions about when they would allow darshan to the large number of Ram devotees expected to arrive in Ayodhya on the occasion of ‘Ram Vivah’. This will also be the first time the Ram Temple hosts the Ram-Sita Vivah festival.

Due to the flag hoisting ceremony and the Ram Vivah celebrations falling on the same day, the number of devotees in Ayodhya will be higher than on a normal day.

Ayodhya District Magistrate Nikhil T Funde stated here on Wednesday that the guests, arriving a day before the Ram Temple flag ceremony, will be allowed darshan on November 24.

After the ban imposed by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra on carrying mobile phones by the invitees to the Ram Mandir flag hoisting ceremony, the district administration and the trust have made a systematic plan and are implementing it so that the guests invited to the Ram Mandir do not face any problem while visiting Ayodhya.

SSP Dr Gaurav Grover said that the arrangements for stay, travel, and parking of the vehicles of the guests at the Ram Mandir flag hoisting ceremony coming to Ayodhya on November 24 have been decided. The trust has shared all the information and details with the guests by specifying which vehicle will take them to the Ram Mandir on November 25.
