The Ram Darbar installed on the first floor of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was thrown open for devotees on Saturday, officials said.

Beginning Saturday, devotees visiting the Ram Mandir can access the Ram Darbar, after a decision to this effect was taken by the temple trust late on Friday evening.

Anil Mishra, a member of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, said that since the decision was made late in the evening, only a limited number of passes for two slots — from 5 pm to 7 pm and from 7 pm to 9 pm — have been arranged for the visits on Saturday.
