The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has revised daily darshan timings at the Ram temple in Ayodhya from November 1, adjusting for the winter season. The sanctum doors will now open at 4 am instead of 3:45 am, and close at 10 pm instead of 10:30 pm. Mangala Aarti will be performed from 4:30 am to 4:40 am, with the sanctum closed from 4:40 am to 6:30 am. Shringar Aarti begins at 6:30 am, and darshan for devotees starts at 7 am. Ram Lalla's midday Vishram has been extended from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm, after which darshan resumes at 1:35 pm until 4 pm. Evening darshan continues from 4:10 pm to 6:45 pm, with Sandhya Aarti at 7 pm and final darshan from 8:30 pm to 10 pm. The Trust also appointed Subhash Chandra Singh as its media spokesperson to handle the increasing number of media queries amid the ongoing second-phase construction and rising devotee footfall.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The timing changes reflect a routine seasonal adjustment, but the extended midday closure from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm suggests the temple is managing higher priestly rituals and bhog offerings. The appointment of a dedicated media spokesperson points to the Trust's effort to control the narrative around the temple's construction and daily operations, as unauthorised statements had caused confusion. With second-phase construction underway and more pilgrims arriving, the Trust is formalising its communication channels. The new schedule and spokesperson both take effect from November 1, when winter operations begin.
