**Ayodhya, India** – Devotees flocked to Ayodhya today to witness the grand Ram Navami celebrations marking the birth of Lord Rama. The main event, the “Surya Tilak” ceremony, where Lord Rama’s image is consecrated with sun rays, took place at noon.

According to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, a detailed schedule was followed, beginning with a one-hour abhishekam (sacred bath) from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Following this, a period of adornment was conducted behind closed doors. The deity was then made available for darshan (viewing) from 10:40 AM to 11:45 AM, before the offering of bhog (food) at 11:45 AM. The highly anticipated Surya Tilak ceremony coincided with the symbolic birth of Ram Lalla at precisely 12 PM.

The Surya Tilak holds special significance as Lord Rama was born in the Suryavamsa (Solar Dynasty), with the sun god considered his family deity. The ceremony is believed to reflect the sun’s influence at the time of Rama’s birth.

Live streaming of the event was available on multiple platforms, including Doordarshan, allowing devotees worldwide to participate virtually.

The temple and surrounding areas buzzed with festive energy throughout the day.
