Ram Lalla's big Surya Namaskar: First Ram Navami at Ayodhya temple today

'Suryatilak' would begin at 11.58am and is likely to last till 12.03pm on Ramnavmi. The size of 'tilak' on idol's forehead will be 58mm.

The trust on its official X handle informed that on the day of Ram Navami, starting at 3.30am during the Brahma Muhurta, arrangements will be in place for the devotees to queue up.

To accommodate increased footfall, temple gates will remain open until 11pm on specific days, and live screenings of rituals will be arranged, with efforts to prevent overcrowding and ensure devotees' safety.

The Ram temple trust urges all dignitaries and VIPs to postpone their visits to Ayodhya until after April 19, due to anticipated heavy rush of devotees ahead of Ram Navami celebrations.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweets "This is the first Ram Navami when our Ram Lalla has been enthroned in the grand Ram temple of Ayodhya. Today Ayodhya is in an unparalleled joy in this celebration of Ram Navami. After waiting for 5 centuries, today we have got the privilege of celebrating this Ram Navami in Ayodhya in this manner."

Special passes for easy accessibility and attendance of rituals will be suspended during this period to manage the crowd effectively.

During April 16-19, VIPs and eminent personalities will not receive special protocol and are requested to join devotees in queues to ensure smooth visitation.

Special arrangements, including the offering of 56 types of Bhog Prasad and a Surya Abhishek of Lord Ram, highlight the fervor surrounding this auspicious day.

Union home minister Amit Shah highlighted the historic significance of Ram Lalla celebrating his birthday within the grand temple premises after 500 years, instead of a temporary tent.
