While lakhs of pilgrims flock to Prayagraj for the ‘Mauni Amavasya snan’, the holy city of Ayodhya also witnessed an overwhelming surge of devotees on the auspicious occasion.<\/p>\n

In the early morning, devotees took a holy dip in the Saryu River in silence and proceeded to the grand Ram Temple to pay obeisance to Lord Ram. The Ayodhya Dham reverberated with chants of “Shri Ram”.<\/p>\n

The temple town remained packed with worshippers throughout the day, with long queues outside Ram Mandir and Hanumangarhi.<\/p>\n

Pilgrims from the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj are heading to Ayodhya. Anticipating the surge, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has already instructed officials to ensure seamless crowd management.<\/p>\n

Top government officials are implementing meticulous arrangements for smooth darshan and puja.<\/p>\n

According to government estimates, over 50 lakh devotees have arrived in Ayodhya in the past 72 hours, and the influx is expected to continue until Basant Panchami.<\/p>\n

Surge in devotees at Ram Temple and Hanumangarhi on Mauni Amavasya<\/p>\n

Thousands of devotees thronged the Saryu ghats for a holy dip, with Chaudhary Charan Singh Ghat seeing the largest influx.<\/p>\n

After their ritual bath, many proceeded to Hanumangarhi before seeking Ram Lala’s darshan.<\/p>\n

A massive crowd stretched from Shringar Haat to the temple premises, creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Similar scenes were observed at the Ram Temple, where devotees queued up in large numbers for darshan.<\/p>\n

Business booms as pilgrim footfall increases<\/p>\n

The growing influx of devotees in Ayodhya Dham has significantly boosted local businesses.<\/p>\n

From ‘prasad’ sellers to hoteliers, the surge in footfall has led to a sharp increase in their sales and profits. Homestay operators, too, are witnessing a rise in bookings as pilgrims flock to the holy city, adding to Ayodhya’s economic activity.<\/p>\n

To ensure the safety and well-being of the massive crowd arriving in Ayodhya Dham, authorities have implemented strict security and health measures.<\/p>\n

The entry of all types of vehicles into the fair area has been completely restricted, with heavy police deployment at key locations to maintain order.<\/p>\n

The Health Department is also on high alert, with all doctors’ leaves canceled until Basant Panchami.<\/p>\n

Emergency services will remain operational 24×7 to handle any medical needs.<\/p>\n

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pushpendra Kumar confirmed that 13 temporary health camps will continue to function until February 26 to provide immediate medical assistance to pilgrims.<\/p>\n
