Devotees thronged in large numbers to Ayodhya on Tuesday, the first morning after the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla at the grand temple.
Since the magnificent temple was opened to the public today, there has been a significant influx of devotees lining the main gate to receive a “Darshan” of Lord Ram Lalla despite strict security measures in place. At three in the morning, devotees flocked to the temple to offer prayers. Lord Ram Lalla’s Pran Pratishtha ceremony came to an end on Monday.

“We are very pleased. Ayodhya has decked up like a bride. We are touched even more to come to terms with the fact that we are going to have ‘darshan’ of the Ram Lalla,” Tejender Singh, a devotee from Chandigarh said.
On the huge crowd gathered at the gates of the temple, he said, “Lakhs of people will have darshan of Lord Ram. So it is bound to be crowded.”
Another devotee said that he has come all the way from Odisha to have darshan of Lord Ram at Ayodhya.

Lord Ram after a very long time. I said in September 2018 that Ram Mandir would be constructed after October 2019. Additionally, I had foreseen that thousands of people would visit and that it would rank among the world’s most visited spiritual locations. Pandit Sanjeev Kumar Srivastav stated, “The stars say that those who come here will have all their wishes fulfilled.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the main rituals at the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya, which was conducted amidst wild celebrations officiated by a small group of priests. In honor of Lord Ram’s accession to this throne, festivities were also arranged across the nation.
