Doordarshan, India’s national broadcaster, has announced a significant initiative for devotees of Lord Ram across the nation. Beginning soon, viewers can tune in to DD National to witness the live morning prayers offered to the revered Ram Lalla idol at the historic Ram Temple in Ayodhya. This daily telecast aims to connect devotees who may be unable to visit the temple in person, allowing them to partake in the sacred rituals from the comfort of their homes.
In a recent announcement on social media platform X, Doordarshan revealed its plan to broadcast the morning aarti ceremony live from Ayodhya. Starting at 6:30 am, devotees can join in the spiritual experience as the Ram Lalla idol is worshipped with devotion and reverence. Recognizing the significance of the temple’s inauguration just a few months ago, this initiative seeks to bridge the gap for devotees who long to be part of these sacred moments.
The decision to broadcast the morning aarti live was made in collaboration with the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which oversees the administration of the temple. Due to logistical constraints, the trust currently lacks the infrastructure for live broadcasting. To facilitate this initiative, Doordarshan will deploy a dedicated crew to the temple premises, ensuring seamless coverage of the daily ritual.
Initially, Doordarshan will air the “Mangala aarti” for a limited period, with plans to expand coverage based on feedback and viewership. This endeavor reflects a shared commitment to fostering spiritual connectivity and preserving the rich cultural heritage associated with Lord Ram.
Exploring the Divine Schedule: Daily Aartis at Ayodhya Ram Temple
Devotees eager to participate in the daily aartis at the Ayodhya Ram Temple can now do so through Doordarshan’s live telecast. The temple hosts six aartis daily, including:
- Mangala Aarti: 4:30 am
- Shringaar Aarti: 6:30 am
- Rajbhog Aarti: 12 noon
- Utthapan Aarti: 2 pm
- Sandhya Aarti: 7 pm
- Shayan Aarti: 10 pm
Guidelines issued by the Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust advise devotees on entry timings for various aartis. Entry passes are required for the Mangala, Shringaar, and Shayan Aartis, while no passes are necessary for the other ceremonies. Additionally, devotees are encouraged to adhere to temple protocols for a smooth and fulfilling darshan experience.
Advisory for Devotees: Streamlining the Darshan Process
In an effort to streamline the darshan process and ensure devotee comfort, the temple trust has issued several advisories:
- Devotees can visit the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir for darshan between 6:30 am and 9:30 pm.
- The darshan process typically takes 60 to 75 minutes, providing devotees ample time to pay their respects to Prabhu Shri Ram Lalla Sarkar.
- To expedite the darshan experience, devotees are encouraged to leave personal belongings such as mobile phones, footwear, and purses outside the temple premises.
- Flowers, garlands, and prasad are not permitted inside the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, ensuring the sanctity of the sacred space.
As devotees eagerly await the daily aartis at the Ayodhya Ram Temple, Doordarshan’s initiative promises to bring divine blessings and spiritual solace to millions across the nation.
