Ayodhya Temple Updates Winter Darshan Timings for 2025
On November 28, 2025, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust announced revised winter darshan timings for the Ayodhya Ram Temple. With temperatures dropping and heavy fog expected in northern India, the temple administration adjusted the schedule to ensure devotees have a safer and more comfortable darshan experience during the winter months.
About the Winter Schedule Update
The Ayodhya Ram Temple experiences a significant increase in pilgrims during winter, especially after the Ram Lalla idol installation earlier this year. To manage rising footfall and seasonal weather challenges, the Trust has updated opening, closing, and aarti timings. These changes will remain in effect throughout the winter season.

Revised Darshan Timings (Winter 2025)
• Morning Darshan: 7:00 AM – 11:30 AM (revised from the earlier 6:30 AM opening)
• Evening Darshan: 3:30 PM – 9:15 PM
• Shayan Aarti: 9:30 PM (advanced due to cold conditions)
• Midday Break: Temple remains closed briefly after Bhog Aarti for daily rituals
These timings align with recent official updates to accommodate winter fog, reduced daylight, and heavy pilgrim turnout.
Safety and Crowd Management Measures
To ensure smooth movement, the temple trust has deployed additional security staff, crowd managers, and metal-detector checkpoints. Extra lighting has been installed along pathways that face low visibility during fog hours. Medical assistance counters and helpdesks have also been set up to guide devotees during peak hours.
Important Advisory for Pilgrims
Pilgrims visiting the temple this winter are advised to arrive early, check official advisories, and carry warm clothing due to temperature drops during morning darshan. The administration also urges devotees to follow queue instructions, especially during early morning hours when fog can slow movement.
