Aarti at Ram temple in Ayodhya: Here's how you can book entry passes

Ram Janmabhoomi aarti passes: The Ram Temple at Ayodhya will be consecrated on January 22 following the culmination of a seven-day ritual, which will begin on January 16. After the consecration, the temple will be open for devotees to perform the "aarti" of the deity of Lord Ram in his child-like form (Ram Lalla).

Three different types of aartis will be performed at the temple, for which passes will be issued free of cost. Only thirty people can attend each aarti, the aarti pass section manager Dhruvesh Mishra was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

"Aarti will be held three times a day. Only pass-holders can attend it. The pass for the aarti can be obtained by producing government-issued ID cards. Right now, only 30 people can attend aarti with the pass. This number could be increased as per the number of devotees. This service is free of cost," Mishra said.

 

Only those with passes will be permitted to attend according to the following timings:
