Before visiting the temple, devotees took a dip in the holy waters of the Saryu River in Ayodhya. According to officials, devotees started flocking to the ghats at night. 'Darshan' started at Ram Temple at 3:30 am. Regarding security arrangements, IG (Ayodhya Range) Praveen Kumar said that arrangements have been made for devotees. "All the areas have been distributed into zones and sectors. Our volunteers and force multipliers have been put in place. Arrangements have also been made for the movement of heavy vehicles," the IG said. Special focus is on ensuring that devotees do not face any difficulties. Arrangements for drinking water, colourful tarpaulins to protect them from the heat, and arrangements for the stay of devotees are being made, he added. Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP)'s spokesperson, Sharad Sharma, said that the celebration of Ram Navami at the Ram temple in Ayodhya has been eagerly awaited for 500 years and the whole country is overjoyed.
