“There is no arrangement for special darshan by payment of a certain fee or through a pass at the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. If anyone has heard about it, then it might be a scam. The temple management has no connection with this,” the trust, which looks after the temple, said.

The entire process from entry to exit after darshan at the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir is extremely simple and convenient, and devotees can have a smooth darshan of the deity in 60 to 75 minutes, the trust added.
