Ayodhya Dhan Mandir

The temple observes a structured daily rhythm marked by four principal aartis. The Mangal Aarti begins at 4:00 AM, followed by the Shringar Aarti at 6:00 AM. At midday, the Bhog Aarti occurs at 12:00 PM, during which general darshan pauses briefly. The Shayan Aarti, the evening ritual, takes place at 10:00 PM. Passes for the Mangal, Shringar, and Shayan aartis are distributed free through the official Trust portal, though availability is limited and passes are typically released a few days in advance.

For those without advance passes, general darshan slots operate throughout the day without pre-booking. These run from 7:00–9:00 AM, 9:00–11:00 AM, 11:00 AM–12:00 PM, 1:00–3:00 PM, 3:00–5:00 PM, 5:00–7:00 PM, and 7:00–9:00 PM. The temple closes from 9:15 PM until 4:00 AM. Last entry at the T-1 gate occurs at 9:00 PM.

Planning Your Visit

Weekday mornings between 7:00 and 9:00 AM, and weekday evenings between 7:00 and 9:00 PM, typically offer less crowded darshan experiences, particularly outside school holiday periods. Tuesdays and Saturdays tend to draw larger crowds, as do major festivals including Ram Navami and Diwali. Visitors seeking a quieter experience should plan accordingly.

Bring a government-issued photo ID for entry verification. If attending an aarti, carry either a printed or digital copy of your pass along with your ID. Mobile phones are prohibited within the temple; free cloakroom facilities are available outside the parkota (outer wall) for storing personal items. The Trust website at srjbtkshetra.org provides current information on passes, timings, and any schedule changes related to festivals or special events—confirmation before travel is advisable, as schedules adjust seasonally.

Accessibility and Facilities

The temple complex is located at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra in Ayodhya. Free passes for aarti darshan can be reserved through the official Trust portal. The Trust also accepts voluntary donations from devotees, with facilities for both domestic and international contributors; the organization is registered under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (2010), enabling overseas donations. Instant digital receipts are available for those contributing via bank transfer.

For those wishing to engage more deeply with the temple, the Trust invites devoted individuals to participate in voluntary seva (service) activities within the complex. Accommodation options exist in Ayodhya for pilgrims, and information on reaching the temple and nearby places of interest is available through the Trust's official channels.

Worship and Devotional Practice

Temples dedicated to Lord Rama typically emphasize his significance in Hindu tradition as an avatar of Vishnu and the central figure of the Ramayana epic. Devotees visit to offer prayers, receive darshan, and participate in the ritual life of the temple. The establishment of this mandir in 2024 represents a continuation of Ayodhya's role as a major pilgrimage destination for those devoted to Rama worship.

The daily aartis structure the devotional calendar, with each ritual marking different moments in the temple's spiritual day. Participation in these ceremonies, whether through reserved passes or general darshan, forms the core of a visitor's engagement with the sacred space.

Before You Visit

Confirm all current timings with the official Trust portal before traveling, as schedules change for festivals, seasons, and special events. Arrive early for general darshan slots to secure a place in the queue. If you wish to attend specific aartis, check the Trust website several days in advance to reserve free passes. Dress modestly as is customary in Hindu temples. Leave mobile phones and other prohibited items in the cloakroom facilities provided outside the parkota. The temple closes from 9:15 PM to 4:00 AM daily.
