Ayodhya: The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust on Thursday released fresh photographs of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, showing large numbers of devotees visiting the temple every day to offer prayers and seek the blessings of Ram Lalla.
The images capture devotees entering the temple premises, participating in darshan, and moving through the sprawling complex in a deeply devotional atmosphere.
According to the Trust, the steady influx of pilgrims reflects the unwavering faith of devotees despite all the controversies surrounding the temple administration.
The release of the photographs comes a day after the Trust asserted that the flow of pilgrims to the temple has remained unaffected.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Interim General Secretary of the Trust Krishna Mohan said that the number of devotees visiting the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple continues to remain steady despite what he described as “propaganda and exaggerated allegations”.
“Despite all the propaganda and exaggerated allegations, the number of devotees visiting the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple remains unchanged. This is proof that the faith and belief of millions of Ram devotees remain unwavering despite baseless, false, and misleading allegations,” Krishna Mohan added.
After the meeting, the Trust had reiterated in an official statement that the continued stream of pilgrims demonstrates that the faith of millions of Ram devotees has remained unshaken despite the allegations.
Meanwhile, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust held a key meeting in Ayodhya on Wednesday to discuss administrative appointments, including the selection of its first-ever Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The Board decided to defer the appointment by about a month after the selection committee sought additional time to scrutinise the large number of applications received for the post.
According to the Trust, the committee is currently reviewing applications, verifying eligibility, and shortlisting candidates based on their credentials.
The Board accepted the committee’s request for additional time, citing the importance of making a careful selection.
The Trust also finalised the appointment of a full-time General Secretary and named an official spokesperson to strengthen its communication efforts amid the recent donation embezzlement controversy.
In another significant decision, the Trust reconstituted its religious committee to preserve the traditional authenticity and sanctity of rituals and worship at the Ram Mandir.
