Updated: October 2026 · 5 min read · Independent guide
📌 Note: Timings change on festivals and special occasions. Check the official Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra announcements before your visit.
Darshan Timings
The temple generally opens early morning and closes after night aarti, with a midday break. Typical schedule:
- Morning: ~6:30 AM – 12:00 PM
- Afternoon break: ~12:00 PM – 3:00 PM
- Evening: ~3:00 PM – 9:00 PM (approx.)
Aarti Schedule
- Mangala Aarti — early morning (entry by pass/limited)
- Shringar Aarti — morning
- Sandhya Aarti — evening
Aarti passes are limited — arrive early or check the official booking process.
What to Carry (and What Not To)
- ✅ ID proof (Aadhaar)
- ✅ Small water bottle
- ❌ Large bags, cameras in restricted zones — use the free locker facility
- ❌ Leather items inside the temple premises (traditional rule)
- ❌ Outside food/prasad — buy from authorized counters
Tips for a Smooth Darshan
- Go early morning — shortest queues, peaceful atmosphere.
- Weekdays beat weekends — Saturday/Sunday and festivals = heavy rush.
- Stay nearby — a hotel within 1–2 km saves hours of travel and lets you attend morning aarti easily.
- Keep 3–4 hours — security check + queue + darshan takes time in peak season.
