| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Estimated daily footfall | Around 1,00,000–1,50,000 devotees on regular days, with early post-opening days and peak periods touching 2.5–3 lakh devotees daily. |
| Estimated annual footfall | Ayodhya saw a sharp pilgrimage surge after the temple opening, with reports citing over 5.5 crore devotees since consecration and broader Ayodhya visitor numbers crossing 11 crore within six months of opening. |
| Estimated floral offerings daily | Unlike many traditional temples, devotees are advised not to bring flowers, garlands, or prasad inside Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. Therefore, floral offerings inside the temple are limited and largely managed through temple-approved rituals and decoration, rather than individual devotee offerings. |
| Types of offerings | Donations, bhog/prasad through temple-managed systems, vastra/seva contributions, aarti participation, digital/box donations, and devotional offerings made as per temple guidelines. Personal flowers, garlands, and prasad are restricted for visitor entry. |
| Footfall during major festivals | During Ram Navami 2025, authorities prepared for nearly 20–30 lakh devotees in Ayodhya. Deepotsav and Diwali also draw lakhs of devotees and tourists across the city. |
| Uniqueness | Revered as Ram Janmabhoomi, the birthplace of Lord Ram; marked by the 22 January 2024 Pran Pratishtha, grand Nagara-style temple architecture, and the unique Surya Tilak ceremony on Ram Navami. |
