Ayodhya Ram Mandir VIP darshan pass online booking 2026
A VIP (Sugam) darshan pass takes you through a separate gate and a managed queue to Shri Ram Lalla, instead of hours in the general line on Ram Navami, Diwali, Kartik Purnima and long weekends. Ideal for elders, families with children, NRIs and tight schedules.
The pass is run by the official temple trust, with a limited number of slots each day: book early, they fill fast in busy seasons.
