About Ram Mandir, Ayodhya

Located on the banks of the holy Saryu River, the Ram Mandir is built at the Ram Janmabhoomi, the birthplace of Lord Rama. Following a historic journey, the temple was inaugurated in January 2024 with the Pran Pratishtha of Ram Lalla. It is now considered one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Hindus worldwide.

Architectural Grandeur in Pink Sandstone

The temple is a masterpiece of the Nagara style of temple architecture. Built using thousands of tons of pink sandstone from Bansi Paharpur, the structure is unique because it was constructed without the use of iron or steel. The temple spans three floors, supported by nearly 400 pillars, each adorned with intricate carvings of gods, goddesses, and celestial motifs.

A Spiritual Haven for Devotees

The atmosphere within the temple complex is one of profound peace and devotion. At the heart of the temple sits the idol of 5-year-old Ram Lalla, carved from dark stone (Shaligram). The temple represents the ideal of Ram Rajya—an era of peace, justice, and prosperity—making it a deeply emotional and spiritual home for millions of devotees.

Divine Aarti & The Surya Tilak Phenomenon

A highlight for visitors is participating in the daily Aarti (Mangala, Shringar, and Sandhya), where the chanting of hymns creates a powerful spiritual energy. A modern engineering marvel within the temple is the Surya Tilak system, which uses mirrors and lenses to focus sunlight precisely on the forehead of the idol every year on Ram Navami.
