This time in Ayodhya, big preparations are being made for the lunar eclipse on September 7. The time of eclipse will start from 9:58 pm till 1:26 pm. During this time, the extreme period of the eclipse will be from 11:05 to 12:05 pm.
According to Vedic traditions, the Sutak period starts about 9 hours before the eclipse. For this reason, the doors of all the monasteries, including the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple of Ayodhya, will be closed ahead of time.
Ram temple doors will be closed on this day
The Ram Mandir Trust has clarified that the temple of Ramlala will be closed for devotees after the afternoon Aarti on 7 September. After this, the doors of other major temples and monasteries of Ramnagari will also be closed.
During the period of Sutak period, neither the temples will be worshiped nor will it be allowed to worship. After the salvation period of the lunar eclipse i.e. the morning of 8 September, the doors of the temples will be opened again and from that time the devotees will be able to see Lord Ramlala.

Due to the lunar eclipse falling on Bhadrapada Shukla Purnima, Sunday 7 September 2025, darshan will be available in Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple only till 12:30 pm. Thereafter, the doors of the temple will be closed and the next day on Monday, September 8, Mangala Aarti will open to the devotees.
According to the tradition, all the puja archana will be postponed in the eclipse period and special purification rituals will be completed after salvation period. After this, devotees will be able to see Ramlala again according to the pre -determined time.
Tradition has been going on since ancient times
In Ramnagari, this tradition has been going on since ancient times that religious rituals are postponed during the period of eclipse and sutak. After eclipse salvation, purification, bathing and special worship are performed in temples. This tradition will also be followed by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra Trust and local priests.
Vedic scholars believe that religious activities are considered prohibited during the eclipse period. Therefore, the same rule will be applicable in all the major temples of Ramnagari. According to the trust, the doors of the Ram temple will be closed in the afternoon so that the traditions can be followed before the Sutak period starts.
You will be able to visit Ramlala on this day
After the eclipse ends, there will be special purification rituals in the temples on the morning of 8 September and then devotees will be able to see Ramlala at the pre -scheduled time. During this time, devotees coming to Ayodhya have also been appealed to follow Vedic traditions. That is, the temple of Ramlala will remain closed from the afternoon of 7 September and from the morning of 8 September, devotees will be able to take advantage of the darshan again.
