The Ram temple trust in Ayodhya is actively planning to enhance facilities to accommodate the surging number of devotees flocking to the sacred site, officials confirmed on Thursday. The trust's secretary, Champat Rai, indicated that a construction committee meeting delved into serious discussions about improving the pilgrimage experience.

In anticipation of large crowds during the impending Ram Navami festival, plans to expand the temple's facilities have been prioritized. The committee is considering upgrading infrastructure including vibrant, multi-colored illumination to enhance the temple’s nighttime appearance.
