Charming Leela Wagah: Ram lalla’s 15-Hour Darshan with Tight Security Today, Kapats Closed Briefly in the Afternoon!
Today marks the second day after the consecration ceremony of Ram lalla in Ayodhya. Following a surge in devotees on Tuesday, stringent security measures have been implemented to manage the crowd effectively. The Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel are stationed outside the temple, overseeing crowd control operations and making announcements to guide the devotees.
On the other hand, Wednesday showcases the adorned image of Ram lalla, where he radiates in vibrant colors resembling a majestic tiger. Adorned with a golden crown, Ram lalla’s divine beauty is displayed for devotees who will have the opportunity for a 15-hour darshan, starting from 7 in the morning until 10 at night. The temple doors will be closed for only 15 minutes at noon for the deity’s offerings and prayers.
To cope with the heavy influx of devotees on Tuesday, barricades have been set up, allowing devotees to queue up in an organized manner. A security official stated that due to the extensive line outside the temple, a significant waiting period is anticipated. Unlike the chaotic atmosphere on Tuesday, Wednesday is expected to be more organized, with groups being formed to escort devotees to the inner sanctum for a peaceful darshan.
Following strict directives from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, rigorous security checks have been carried out, enabling the faithful to access the Ram Janmabhoomi pathway. The police, taking measures to control the crowd, installed robust steel railings on Tuesday night to ensure the safety and smooth flow of the devotees.
