The temple gates will now open at 4 am instead of 3:45 am and close at 10 pm instead of 10:30 pm, the temple administration has announced. According to Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust media advisor Subhash Chandra Singh, chief priest Acharya Keshav has prepared the new timetable. Devotees' darshan will begin at 7 am. Mangala aarti will be at 4:30 am, Shringar aarti at 6:30 am, Sandhya aarti at 7 pm, and Shayan aarti at 9:30 pm. The temple gates will close at 10 pm after Shayan aarti. The new schedule also includes a break for Balbhog from 8 am to 8:10 am, Rajbhog from 11:30 am to 12 pm, and Ramlala's rest from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. Devotees will be able to have darshan until 9:15 pm. ## Indian Opinion Analysis TV9 Hindi and Amar Ujala both report the same factual schedule change with near-identical detail, attributing it to the temple administration and the Trust's media advisor. Neither outlet introduces any critical or political framing, the coverage is uniform straight reporting focused on the revised timings and the season-change rationale. The balanced reading is straightforward: the temple is following an established practice of adjusting hours for winter, and both sources present it as a routine administrative update. The key point to watch is whether the new 10 pm closing time is implemented smoothly from 1 November. Both outlets name the same next step: the new schedule comes into effect from 1 November 2026. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - tv9hindi.com (neutral report) Straight reporting of timing changes, no political or critical framing - amarujala.com (neutral report) Straight reporting of timing changes, no political or critical framing This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
