The Ayodhya Ram Temple has undergone several administrative and ritual developments. In August 2024, the site marked the sixth anniversary of the land-puja ceremony performed in 2020. Concurrently, the Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust announced the termination of the VIP and VVIP pass system for temple darshan to promote equality and transparency among devotees.

Later in August 2024, the city celebrated the one-year anniversary of the regular reinstatement of the daily Ramkot Parikrama. This ritual, historically known as ‘Antargrihi Parikrama’, involves a circuit of prominent temples within the Ramkot area, including the Ram Lalla Temple and Hanumangarhi.
