When was the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya built?

The temple was consecrated in January 2024, at a site in Ayodhya traditionally held to be the birthplace of Lord Ram.

How do I get to Ayodhya?

Ayodhya has its own airport with a growing number of connections, as well as rail links and road access from Lucknow and other Uttar Pradesh cities. We arrange the specific route based on where your trip starts.

What else can I see in Ayodhya besides the Ram Mandir?

Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan and the evening aarti on the Saryu River ghats are the most commonly combined sites, and a local guide can sequence a sensible route between them.

Is there a special entry or VIP darshan option at the Ram Mandir?

Entry and crowd-management systems at the temple are set and updated by the temple trust and evolve as the site matures. We check the current process and any special-entry option with you before your visit rather than quoting a fixed procedure here.

Can I combine Ayodhya with other Uttar Pradesh destinations?

Yes, Ayodhya combines naturally with Varanasi, Lucknow and other Uttar Pradesh stops on a wider pilgrimage or heritage itinerary.

The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, is a major Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Ram, built at a site traditionally held to be his birthplace and consecrated in January 2024. It is now one of North India's most visited pilgrimage destinations, drawing devotees and visitors from across the country. Experience My India arranges a private guide and vehicle to Ayodhya, timed around the temple's darshan hours and current visitor guidelines, which we confirm before your visit.

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.

Everything was arranged before we landed — driver, guide, tickets, even the entry slot. We just turned up. The car was clean, cold water in the back, and the driver was calm in traffic that would have terrified me.

The homestay night was the memory we will keep — cooking with the family, the kids playing cricket in the lane. It was arranged with real thought, and the drive out there was beautiful.

Excellent guide and a well-paced day. My only note is that lunch was at a fairly touristy restaurant; food was fine but we would have preferred somewhere more local. Otherwise faultless.

Driver was a gem — patient, careful on the highway, and he pulled over for every photo request without a sigh. The car was comfortable and the air conditioning actually worked, which is not a given.
