Ram Mandir Sugam Darshan bookings open 90 days ahead

Devotees can now book free Sugam Darshan passes at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya up to 90 days ahead, instead of 15 days. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust announced the change in mid October 2026. The daily online quota for general devotees has also increased from 975 to 2,000 passes.

UNI, Organiser, Asianet Newsable and NewsBytes reported the changes. For families arranging travel to Ayodhya, the longer booking window allows earlier planning.

When passes are released

Passes are released in seven advance stages: 90, 62, 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 day before the darshan date. An eighth stage offers same-day Tatkal passes. Check the trust's official website for booking information for the date you intend to visit.

The passes are free. The trust has warned devotees against paying intermediaries and has asked them to book only through its official website. Some travel sites still mention the old 15-day window or advertise paid “VIP” packages. Rely on the trust's official website for Sugam Darshan bookings.

Turn towards Shri Ram

Planning helps us prepare for the visit. Darshan calls for a sincere heart. In Sunderkand, Shri Ram gives this assurance:

कोटि बिप्र बध लागहिं जाहू। आएँ सरन तजउँ नहिं ताहू॥ सनमुख होइ जीव मोहि जबहीं। जन्म कोटि अघ नासहिं तबहीं॥१॥

Ramcharitmanas, Sunderkand, Doha 44, Chaupai 1

Shri Ram says: “Even one who bears the sin of killing millions of Brahmins, I do not abandon when he comes to My refuge. The moment a soul turns to face Me, the sins of millions of births are destroyed.”

The word सनमुख means turning to face Him. As we prepare to stand before Shri Ram, we can also bring our thoughts to Him and seek His refuge with sincerity.

At the moment of darshan, say Shri Ram's name once with attention and offer Him one sincere prayer.
