Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya witnessed an influx of about 1.5 crore devotees after the consecration ceremony of the Ram Lalla idol on January 22, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust said. Champat Rai, general secretary of the temple trust stated that around one lakh people visited the temple town each day for pilgrimage which has become a centre for Hindu devotees around the world.

"Every day, more than one lakh people visit the temple to have darshan. Since the Pran Pratishtha on January 22, approximately 1.5 crore people have come for the darshan of Ram Lalla," Champat Rai said while adding that the temple trust is planning to enhance the capacity and security of the temple amid huge influx of devotees in Ayodhya.

A 14-foot-wide security wall, known as ‘Parkota’ of the temple, is set to be constructed around the temple. Additionally, the temple complex will expand to include six more temples dedicated to deities such as Lord Shiva and Lord Hanuman, among others. These developments aim to accommodate up to 25,000 pilgrims at a time, complete with their belongings, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra said.

The temple which houses a 51-inch-tall idol of Ram Lalla will be self-sufficient with its own water treatment and sewer treatment plants, alleviating any potential strain on Ayodhya’s resources. Additionally, the temple's design will also incorporate environmental considerations as over 600 plants within the temple premises have been preserved, ensuring that the local ecosystem remains intact.
