New Delhi: Ahead of the Ram Navami on Sunday, security and traffic arrangements have been made in Ayodhya for the grand celebrations.

Alternative arrangements similar to those made during the Maha Kumbh are in place.
All special passes for the Ram Temple will be cancelled during peak hours from 9 am till noon and priority will be given to regular pilgrims for temple visits, he said.
Preparations have been made to ensure that pilgrims do not face any problem.
Lessons from innovations in crowd control during the Maha Kumbh have been applied to manage crowds and provide facilities to pilgrims.
Arrangements for shade and mats have been made at major sites, including the Ram Temple and Hanuman Garhi, to protect pilgrims from heat and Sun, the Divisional Commissioner said, adding that cool drinking water will be available at all major sites.
Considering the heat, ORS solutions are available with all these officials and at all temporary health centres in the fair areas.
