Ayodhya Ram Mandir tour

The Ram Mandir, Ayodhya

The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, was consecrated in January 2024, at a site in the city traditionally held to be the birthplace of Lord Ram. Since then it has become one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in North India, and the wider city of Ayodhya, long significant in its own right as one of Hinduism's seven sacred cities, has seen substantial development around the temple and its approach roads.

This page covers how a private visit is typically planned; we do not carry specific visitor numbers or queue-time figures here, since these change with the season and the day of the week — we check current conditions and guidance with you before your visit.

Other sites in Ayodhya worth combining

Ayodhya has a number of other temples and sites that many visitors combine with the Ram Mandir on the same trip.

• Hanuman Garhi, one of the city's most visited temples, dedicated to Hanuman.
• Kanak Bhawan, a temple associated with Ram and Sita, known for its ornate interior.
• The Saryu River ghats, where a riverside evening aarti is held, echoing the Ganga Aarti tradition seen at other North Indian pilgrimage cities.
• Other temples and sites across the wider city, which a local guide can sequence sensibly into a single day or two.
