‘Ram Darbar’ Pran Pratishtha on June 3; Over 700 Daily Passes for Darshan Expected

The ground floor of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will be inaugurated to visitors after the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, which is set to commence on June 3.

The consecration ceremony for the Ram Darbar will start on June 3 and end on June 5.

While the grand consecration ceremony previously facilitated Ram Lalla's assumption of his position in the sanctum sanctorum, the first floor will also have Lord Ram in his royal 'King' avatar.

A complex Ram Darbar is being readied for the first floor, where 18 idols, including one of Lord Ram, are expected to be placed around May 23.

Nripendra Mishra, Head of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Construction Committee, toured Ayodhya on Friday to examine the work underway at the temple complex.

Following the inspection, he spoke to the media, saying, "The main temple will be handed over in August or September, while the Parakota will be done by November."

He also gave information about the current idol installations, adding that the idols have started being placed in both the Parakota and Sapta Mandirs.

"The idols of Ram Darbar will be installed in the sanctum sanctorum on May 23. Also, the idol of Laxman ji will be brought and installed in the Sheshavtar temple by May 30," he informed.

Mishra also disclosed that the temple trust has implemented some measures to make the darshan of the pilgrims smooth and comfortable.

"To control the number of visitors, a total of 750 devotees will be issued passes daily to proceed to Ram Darbar on the first floor. Out of these, 50 passes will be issued on a 'first come, first serve' basis," he detailed.

He further stated that except for the boundary and auditorium areas, all other work on the temple complex construction will be done by December 2025.

Once the Yatri Suvidha Kendra and STP are completed by the Bhawan Nirman Samiti, they will be transferred to the Ram Mandir Trust.

Mishra also verified that the central temple would be transferred in the last week of August, and the Parakota would be completed and transferred to the trust by the end of November.
