The grand inauguration of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya marked a historic milestone for millions of devotees worldwide. However, because visiting the holy city in person every day is not possible for everyone, the national broadcaster, Doordarshan (DD), has introduced a wonderful initiative. Devotees can now watch the divine daily morning prayers offered to Ram Lalla live from the comfort of their homes.
Through a special arrangement with the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, DD National broadcasts the morning rituals live every single day, bringing the spiritual essence of Ayodhya directly to your screens.

Essential Advisory for On-Site Temple Visitors
If you are planning a physical pilgrimage to Ayodhya to witness the grand rituals firsthand, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has issued a strict set of guidelines to ensure smooth crowd management and a hassle-free experience.
1. Mandatory Entry Passes for Specific Aartis
You cannot simply walk into the temple complex for every ritual. Entry for the Mangala Aarti, Shringaar Aarti, and Shayan Aarti is strictly restricted and requires a valid, pre-booked Entry Pass. These passes are issued entirely free of cost by the official Temple Trust. You can secure them online through the official portal around 10 to 15 days in advance by verifying your Aadhaar card or Passport details. No passes are required for general day darshan slots.
2. General Darshan Timings
The temple remains open for general public darshan in regular sessions, typically running from 7:00 AM to 11:30 AM and shifting to an afternoon/evening slot from 2:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The trust notes that the entire entry-to-exit pipeline is optimized; a normal devotee can easily secure a peaceful darshan within 60 to 75 minutes on regular weekdays.
3. Prohibited Items and Cloakroom Rules
To maintain strict security standards and accelerate verification lines, the following protocols must be kept in mind:
- Leave Belongings Outside: Devotees must deposit mobile phones, smartwatches, cameras, leather purses, and bulky bags outside the main temple gate. Free secure lockers/cloakrooms are available at the entrance.
- No Outside Offerings: Visitors are requested not to bring outside flowers, heavy garlands, or personal Prasad inside the premises to help maintain cleanliness and uniformity.
- Arrive Early: If you hold a valid Aarti or Sugam Darshan pass, make sure to report to the entry point at least 30 to 45 minutes prior to your allotted slot for security clearance.
The regular morning live telecast on DD National has turned out to be an incredible spiritual gift for senior citizens, NRI families, and distant devotees who long for a daily glimpse of Prabhu Shri Ram Lalla. Whether you choose to soak in the divine energy through your digital screens at 6:00 AM or plan a disciplined visit using the official free pass system, experiencing the beauty of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir has truly become accessible to all.
