‘Becoming Difficult To…’: Ram Mandir Trust Appeals To Devotees ‘Nearby’ Ayodhya To Postpone Visit

The Ram Mandir Trust said that there has been an “unprecedented increase” in the number of devotees visiting Ram Mandir in the last three days.

Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra on Tuesday appealed to the devotees, who are seeking to offer prayers at the Ram Mandir and are coming from “nearby areas” of Ayodhya, to postpone their visits to February due to a large influx of devotees who are arriving from “distant places”.

Stating that an “unprecedented increase in the number of devotees” arriving to offer prayers has been witnessed in the past three days, the Trust said that it is becoming “increasingly difficult” to ensure darshan of Ram Lalla to every devotee in a single day, considering the size and population of the holy town.

“The ‘Mukhya Snan’ (main bathing ritual) for Mauni Amavasya at Kumbh in Prayagraj will take place on January 29, 2025. It is estimated that approximately 10 crore devotees will take a holy dip in Prayagraj on this auspicious day. A large number of devotees are also traveling from Prayagraj to Ayodhya via train and road,” the Trust posted on X.

It said that the large influx of devotees has caused inconvenience to people as devotees are having to walk longer distances.

“We humbly request devotees from nearby areas to plan their visit to Ayodhya 15-20 days later, allowing those coming from distant places to have an easier darshan experience at present. This will ensure convenience for everyone,” the post said.

“There will be much relief after Vasant Panchami, and the weather in February will also be pleasant. It would be best if devotees from nearby areas plan their visit during that time. We request you to kindly consider this appeal,” the Trust added.
