Ayodhya's Ram temple gets a major upgrade for huge year-end crowds
Big changes are coming to the Ram Temple in Ayodhya as it prepares for a flood of visitors on Pran Pratishtha Ekadashi.
With facilities being prepared to store shoes for 25,000 people at a time—almost like the Kumbh Mela—the temple trust is rolling out new facilities and security to make things smoother for everyone.
What's new for visitors?
To help with the rush, there are now shoe storage rooms that can handle up to 200,000 pairs a day—so you won't have to worry about losing your shoes in the crowd.
Security is getting tighter too: a massive boundary wall designed by top agencies is being built around the temple complex.
Plus, a new small temple is under construction, making space for even more devotees in the future.
Why does this matter?
If you're planning a visit or just curious about how big events get managed in India, this is worth knowing.
The upgrades show how seriously the temple is taking safety and comfort as it welcomes large crowds—a pretty impressive feat of organization.
