Ayodhya: New 'Smart Crowd Management' at Hanuman Garhi - Darshan in Just 30 Seconds

Ayodhya, January 6, 2026: Since the inauguration of the grand Ram Temple, the number of devotees visiting Ayodhya has seen an unprecedented surge. To manage this massive influx and ensure a smooth experience for pilgrims, the administration of the famous Hanuman Garhi Temple has taken a revolutionary step. Devotees will no longer have to wait for hours for a glimpse of the deity. A new 'Smart Crowd Management' system has been implemented, making darshan possible within just 30 seconds.

Features of the New System The temple administration, in collaboration with the local police, has devised a new route chart. The key highlights of this system include:

1. Smart Barricading: The pathways have been redesigned with intelligent barricades that maintain a continuous flow of devotees, preventing crowding at any single point.

2. One-Way Route: Entirely separate paths for entry and exit have been established. This 'one-way' mechanism ensures that there is no bottleneck or reverse movement of crowds.

3. Darshan Efficiency: As soon as a devotee reaches the main sanctum, they are guided to move forward steadily. This allows each pilgrim approximately 30 seconds to view 'Hanuman Lalla', which is optimal for maintaining a constant flow.

Big Relief for Elderly and Specially-Abled The greatest benefit of this new system is being felt by the elderly, children, and specially-abled pilgrims. By eliminating the need to stand in long, stagnant queues, they can now complete their darshan without physical strain. The trial run, which began this morning, has received an overwhelmingly positive response from visitors.

Administration’s Outlook According to Ayodhya authorities, this system will be even more critical during the upcoming Makar Sankranti festival, when millions of devotees are expected. Additional security forces have also been stationed around the temple premises to ensure safety and order.
