Ayodhya: Devotees heading to Ayodhya this winter will need to adjust their plans. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra has revised the daily schedule of worship, aarti, bhog, rest and darshan of Ram Lalla at the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, with the new timings taking effect from Sunday, November 1, 2026.
The biggest change is at both ends of the day. The temple doors, which currently open at 3.45 a.m. and close at 10.30 p.m., will now open at 4 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. The trust announced the revised schedule on its official X account, saying the changes reflect the change of seasons and the daily rituals associated with the deity.

Why the Timings Changed
Rajkumar Das, a member of the Ram Temple’s Religious Committee, said the adjustment follows long-standing temple tradition. “In all the major temples of the country, there are distinct traditions and arrangements for darshan during the summer season and the autumn season,” he said. Since Ram Lalla is worshipped in his child form, he explained, the morning darshan timing has been extended slightly “because in autumn, nights are longer and days are shorter.”
