Is There a Ram Mandir VIP Darshan Pass?

The temple trust, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, has two kinds of special entry passes: the Sugam Darshan pass and a separate Vishisht (special) pass. As reported in July 2026, Vishisht passes are issued by the trust on the recommendation of a trustee, through the trust's own system. They are not sold, and there is no public online form to buy them.

For ordinary devotees, the official way to get a smoother darshan is the free Sugam Darshan pass. When people say "VIP darshan pass", this is usually what they can actually book. Anyone who asks for money for a "VIP pass", "direct entry" or "no-queue darshan" is not authorised by the trust.

How to Book the Ram Mandir Sugam Darshan Pass Online

1. Open the official website: go to online.srjbtkshetra.org. Type the address yourself rather than clicking links in WhatsApp forwards or ads.
2. Register or log in: use your mobile number and verify it with the OTP.

4. Add devotee details: enter each person's name, age and ID details exactly as on the original ID they will carry.
5. Check and confirm: there is no fee. If any page asks for payment for the pass, stop, because you are not on the official website.

Tips for Busy Dates

• Book as soon as slots open for your date. Weekends, Ram Navami, Deepotsav, New Year and long holidays fill up quickly.
• Choose an early morning slot. It is usually less crowded and cooler.
• If no slot is free, plan for general darshan early in the morning instead of paying anyone for a pass.

Which aartis are open to pass holders, and their exact times, are decided by the trust and change with the season. Check the aarti section on the official website for your date.

Fake Pass Scams: How to Stay Safe

The Government of India has itself warned devotees about fake Ram Mandir "VIP entry" offers, and the trust has denied running any online prasad service in the past. Watch for these:

1. Paid "VIP pass" offers on websites, social media or WhatsApp
2. Look-alike websites with names close to the official one
3. "Darshan pass with hotel room" packages that charge for the pass
4. Touts near the gate who say the line is closed and offer a shortcut
5. Online prasad or donation links that are not from the trust's official channels

If you are cheated online, call the cyber crime helpline 1930 or report it at cybercrime.gov.in. For more, read our scam-free darshan guide.

What Happens on the Day of Darshan

1. Reach Ayodhya the day before if you have an early slot.
2. Leave your phone, bag and electronic items at your hotel, in your cab, or at the official locker facility.
3. Walk or take an e-rickshaw to the entry, since vehicles are stopped some distance away.
4. Go to the entry marked for pass holders and show your pass and original ID.
5. Pass through security, have darshan, and follow the exit route set by temple volunteers.

Temple Rules to Remember

• Mobile phones, cameras, smartwatches, bags and other electronic items are not allowed inside.
