Ayodhya Day 4: Long queue outside Ram Temple for Ram Lalla darshan

Ayodhya Day 4: On the fourth day after Pran Pratishtha, devotees throng the Ram Temple to have darshan of Shri Ram Lalla.

The visual shows a long queue to offer the darshan of Ram Lalla.

The scenes outside the temple depict a vast gathering, with devotees braving the cold winter morning to catch a glimpse of Lord Ram. 

The devotion and dedication of the pilgrims are evident as they persist in making their way to the temple, underscoring the significance of the recent 'pran pratishtha' ceremony. 

Meanwhile,  IG Range Ayodhya, Praveen Kumar highlighted the measures taken to ensure the safety and security of devotees.

"The public transport system has been improved for the safe travel of outsiders. We are constantly assuring security in the place. Devotees arriving are having darshan with discipline. There is enthusiasm among people but there is no haphazard. The administration, and, police personnel are working well on the orders of Honourable Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath."

Notably, the 'Pran Pratishtha' of Shri Ram Lalla in Ayodhya was held on January 22, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi performing the main rituals officiated by a select complement of priests.

The Prime Minister also performed 'parikrama' of the deity and did 'dandvat pranam'. This act of devotion, characterized by prostrating fully with one's forehead touching the ground, is a mark of utmost reverence and humility in Hindu tradition.

Celebrations were also held across the country to mark Lord Ram's return to this throne. 

The 'Ram Nagri' Ayodhya also grabbed global eyeballs, with earthen lamps or diyas lit up on a massive scale and crackers going up and dazzling the night sky in different parts of the city.
