Ayodhya Ram Temple drops separate Ram Darbar darshan pass requirement
The Ram Temple is a very special Hindu temple in a city called Ayodhya.
Inside, there is a statue of Ram Lalla, a little child form of Lord Ram.
Many people visit the temple to see Ram Lalla, and this is called darshan.
The temple also has another special room on the first floor called the Ram Darbar.
Before, visitors needed a special paper pass to enter that room.
Only a small number of people could get the pass each day.
Now, the temple has changed the rules.
People can walk to the Ram Darbar right after seeing Ram Lalla in the regular line.
They do not need any extra pass or permission anymore.
The people in charge of the temple made this change to make things easier and to let more visitors see the Ram Darbar.
Devotees visiting the Ram Temple in Ayodhya no longer need a separate pass to reach the Ram Darbar on the first floor.
The restricted-access system, which limited the number of daily visitors to the first-floor shrine, has been withdrawn completely.
Under the new arrangement, devotees can move to the Ram Darbar after completing general darshan of Ram Lalla through the regular queue.
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust introduced the change to simplify the darshan process and make it more accessible.
The general queue now lets devotees visit both Ram Lalla and the Ram Darbar during the same darshan without applying for an additional permit.
