Devotees from across the country are thronging Ayodhya as the first floor of the Ram Temple — transformed into a grand Ram Darbar — was officially opened for public darshan on Saturday.
The decision to open the sanctified first floor was taken by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust after consultations with the
local administration.
To manage the expected surge in footfall, a pass system has been introduced, similar to that is used for Ram Lalla’s darshan.
Only a limited number of visitors were allowed on Saturday, with 300 passes allocated across two time slots — from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
