Why pilgrims come here

The grand Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, built in the Nagara style, is the centre of every visit. Pilgrims also climb to Hanuman Garhi, visit Kanak Bhawan and bathe at the Saryu ghats.

From Rajkot, Ayodhya is a very long road journey. Many families fly or take a train; others prefer one vehicle and driver throughout, often combining Ayodhya with Prayagraj and Varanasi.

Darshan & aarti tips

  • Darshan at the Ram Mandir runs in set time slots through the day; check the official trust website for current timings and any passes.
  • Phones and bags are generally not allowed inside; deposit facilities are available.
  • Ram Navami and Deepotsav (Diwali) draw enormous crowds.

Timings change. Temple timings vary with seasons and festivals. Always confirm the day's darshan and aarti schedule with the temple's official sources before you travel. We'll plan your departure around it.
