Temple schedules in Ayodhya and Bhubaneswar to change from November 1

The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has announced a revised timetable for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, effective November 1. Due to the onset of colder weather, the temple doors will now open at 4:00 am and close at 10:00 pm. While the doors open earlier in the morning, general darshan for devotees is scheduled to begin at 7:00 am. The new routine also includes changes to the Mangala Aarti, Shringaar Aarti, and afternoon rest periods for Ramlala.

In Bhubaneswar, the Lingaraj Temple will also implement modified darshan timings starting November 1 to accommodate renovation and cleaning work within the sanctum sanctorum. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will conduct repairs and maintenance in phases to ensure daily rituals are not disrupted. During this period, darshan will be temporarily suspended following the completion of Bhogamandap rituals at 2:00 pm to facilitate the work.
