On the joyous occasion of Ram Navami, the newly constructed Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya is all set to celebrate. According to Acharya Satyendra Das, the chief priest of the temple, special arrangements have been made for the auspicious day.
Ram Lalla, the deity, will be adorned in vibrant yellow attire and offered 56 Bhog (prasad). The festivities will commence in the early hours of Wednesday with Mangala Aarti at 3:30 am and will continue until 11 pm, with brief pauses during the four bhog offerings.

Moreover, celebrations will be broadcasted on large LED screens across Ayodhya city and live streams will be available on the Trust’s social media platforms. However, the trust urges people to refrain from unnecessary travel to Ayodhya to avoid overcrowding.
The temple has introduced the ‘Surya Tilak’ project to adorn Ram Lalla’s forehead with sunlight on every Ram Navami. This scientific system employs lenses and mirrors to direct sunlight onto the deity’s forehead, symbolizing reverence and celebration precisely at noon.
Uttar Pradesh government has ramped up security measures in and around Ayodhya. With devotees expected to flock to the city for the first Ram Navami celebrations since the consecration ceremony in January, authorities aim to ensure a safety for all the devotees.
