National broadcaster Doordarshan has good news for Devotees of Lord Ram. Doordarshan has announced that it will broadcast live the morning prayers offered at the The idol of Ram Lalla at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya every day.
Doordarshan shared the same in a post on X, first Twitter. Doordarshan reported that the morning aarti offered to Ram Lalla will be broadcast live on DD National every morning from 6:30 am. The national broadcaster said that the decision to broadcast the morning aarti live every day was taken with the aim of connecting the devotees of Lord Ram, especially after the inauguration of the temple less than two months ago in a grand ceremony and that everyone cannot visit the temple in person. The Aarti will be telecast simultaneously on DD’s YouTube channel as well.
Secondly, the decision was taken because the Trust has no logistical arrangements as yet for a live broadcast. Therefore, DD will post a two-three member crew at the temple location for daily ritual coverage.
DD’s announcement to telecast the Aarti live for 30 minutes every morning comes after getting permission from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust for the same. Initially, DD will air the ‘Mangala aarti’ for a few months, and then the Ram Temple Trust will take a call on how to take it up.
6 Aartis every day at Ayodhya Ram temple
There are 6 arts of Ram Lalla held every day in Ayodhya Ram temple. These include Mangala Aarti at 4:30 am, Shringaar Aarti at 6:30 am, Rajbhog Aarti at 12 pm, Utthapan Aarti at 2 pm, Sandhya Aarti at 7 pm, and Shayan Aarti at 10 pm.
Giving directions to devotees for Aarti, the temple trust said, “Entry for Mangala Aarti at 4 AM, Shringar Aarti at 6:15 AM, and Shayan Aarti at 10 PM is possible only with an entry pass. No entry pass required for other Aartis.”
