A massive influx of crowd gathered at Rampath on Wednesday to offer prayers to Ram Lalla, just two days after the deity's 'pran pratishtha' ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. Visuals from outside the temple depicted a large number of devotees braving the cold weather to have the 'darshan' of Shri Ram Lalla.
Inspector-General of Police Ayodhya, Praveen Kumar, informed that the crowd is non-stop, appealing to the devotees not to rush for Darshan.

The 'Pran Pratishtha' of Ram Lalla at the Ram Temple occurred on Monday, in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several dignitaries.
"A sufficient force has been deployed inside, especially at the main points where devotees go for darshan, to ensure there is no excessive pressure. Traffic police, PCR, and water police have been deployed in full strength to ensure that incoming devotees face no inconvenience," said DGP Kumar.
He added that all arrangements are being made to prevent any inconvenience for the devotees, assuring that necessary facilities will be in place. According to Uttar Pradesh government officials, around 2.5 lakh to 3 lakh devotees have already offered prayers to Ram Lalla in Ayodhya's Ram Temple on Tuesday, with a similar number awaiting darshan.
