Great news for devotees of Lord Ram! National broadcaster Doordarshan has announced that it will telecast the morning prayers offered to the Ram Lalla idol at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya live every day.
The announcement was made via a post on X (formerly Twitter). According to Doordarshan, the morning aarti offered to Ram Lalla will be broadcast live on DD National every morning starting at 6:30 AM.
The decision to telecast the morning aarti live daily aims to connect devotees of Lord Ram, especially those who cannot visit the temple in person following its inauguration in a grand ceremony less than two months ago. The Aarti will also be broadcast simultaneously on DD’s YouTube channel.
The decision also comes as the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust currently lacks the logistical infrastructure for live broadcasts. DD will deploy a small crew of two to three members to the temple premises to cover the daily ritual.
DD's announcement follows approval from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust. Initially, DD will air the “Mangala aarti” for a few months, after which the Ram Temple Trust will decide how to proceed.
There are six aartis performed daily for Ram Lalla at the Ayodhya Ram temple:
The temple trust has issued directions for devotees wishing to attend Aarti: "Entry for Mangala Aarti at 4 AM, Shringar Aarti at 6:15 AM, and Shayan Aarti at 10 PM is possible only with an entry pass. No entry passes required for other Aartis."
The Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra has also issued an advisory for devotees visiting the temple:
"Devotees can enter the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir for Darshan from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM. The entire process from entry to exit after Darshan at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir is extremely simple and convenient. Typically, devotees can have a smooth Darshan of Prabhu Shri Ram Lalla Sarkar within 60 to 75 minutes."
The temple trust advises devotees to leave mobile phones, footwear, purses, and other personal items outside the Mandir premises for convenience and to save time.
Devotees are also requested not to bring flowers, garlands, or Prasad to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir.
