Multi-Tier Security & Strict Guidelines at Ram Janmabhoomi
To preserve sacred tranquility and ensure ironclad security across the 70-acre temple complex, security agencies including the Special Protection Group (SPG), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), and UP Police enforce strict baggage guidelines. Visitors who arrive unprepared often face delays returning to locker facilities.
Strictly Prohibited Items Inside the Sanctum Zone
Devotees are strictly forbidden from carrying the following articles beyond the security screening barrier:
- Mobile Phones, Smartwatches & Bluetooth Devices: Absolutely no electronic gadgets, fitness bands, or earphones are allowed.
- Leather Accessories: Leather belts, wallets, and bags must be left behind (cloth wallets with cash/cards are permitted).
- Sharp Objects & Cigarettes/Lighters: Any metallic objects, pocketknives, scissors, matches, or tobacco products are strictly confiscated.
- Large Backpacks & Luggage: Only small plastic bags carrying medicines or pooja prasad are permitted.
How Free Locker Facilities Work at the Temple
The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust provides vast, automated, zero-fee locker counters equipped with biometric or QR-coded digital tokens inside the Pilgrim Facilitation Centre (PFC). Devotees receive a physical token and must present it at the exit to claim their deposited devices.
Crucial Advice for Tour Operators
To avoid group scatter and save up to 45 minutes, Ayodhya DMC advises tour managers to instruct guests to leave all cell phones, smartwatches, and leather goods locked securely inside their hotel room or private chartered coach prior to arriving at the temple gate.
