Ayodhya's Ram Mandir experiences a surge in devotees, leading to the revision of aarti and darshan timings by the Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Trust. Shringar aarti at 4:30 am, Mangala aarti at 6:30 am, and darshan from 7 am aim to manage the overwhelming crowd.

Authorities implement stringent security measures post the January 22 consecration ceremony, deploying Rapid Action Force and Central Reserve Police Force personnel. Roads leading to Ayodhya from districts like Basti, Gonda, and Sultanpur are blocked 15 kilometers ahead of their borders.

In response to the influx, temple management extends prayer hours from 6 am to 10 pm, with a 15-minute allocation for 'aarti' and 'bhog' from noon. Devotees arrive on 'Paush Purnima,' taking a holy dip in the Saryu river.

Ayodhya Commissioner Gaurav Dayal addresses the situation, allowing emergency vehicles and those carrying perishable items to enter Faizabad but keeping entry into Ayodhya town closed. Vehicles from nearby districts are barred from entering Ayodhya.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reviews crowd management steps, advising VIPs to inform authorities before visiting the temple. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urges Cabinet colleagues to avoid visiting the Ram temple until March.

To ease congestion, the revised schedule aligns with the massive influx, ensuring a smoother experience for devotees. Security forces remain vigilant, controlling entry points to Ayodhya and upholding the sanctity of the religious site.
