Braving the cold early in the morning on Thursday, devotees continued to arrive for the darshan of Ram Lalla at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya three days after the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony.
As a huge crowd of devotees continued to visit the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Acharya Satyendra Das, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Chief Priest said that an appeal was made to have the darshan patiently and devotees are following it.
“This is the fourth day since Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla. Darshan has been open for devotees since January 22. There was a heavy turnout on the first two days. Now people are having the darshan patiently. An appeal was made to have the darshan patiently, calmly and devotees are following it,” he told ANI.
IG Range Ayodhya, Praveen Kumar elaborated on arrangements made for effective crowd management.
“Today is the festival of Paush Poornima in which people take a holy dip first. People from the surrounding areas are coming on foot. There are two queues one kilometre long each. Any belongings have to be kept in the Public Facilitation Centre (PFC). There are baggage scanners installed. There is also a physical frisking centre.”
IG Range Ayodhya, Praveen Kumar highlighted the measures taken to ensure the safety and security of devotees.
“The public transport system has been improved for the safe travel of outsiders. We are constantly assuring security in the place. Devotees arriving are having darshan with discipline. There is enthusiasm among people but there is no haphazard. The administration, and, police personnel are working well on the orders of Honourable Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.”
IG Range Ayodhya, Praveen Kumar appealed to people to reduce their luggage for a better experience at Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
“We appeal to people to bring fewer belongings to save time.”
The Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla at Ram Temple in Ayodhya was held on Monday. The Ram Lalla idol was unveiled at the Pran Pratishtha ceremony after the hour-long rituals in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who led the ceremony.
The event saw the participation of about 8,000 invitees, including 1,500-1,600 eminent guests.
