Like every year, special preparations are going on in the famous Mahavir Temple of Patna for Ram Navami this year too. This time, after opening the doors, the first 10 devotees who have darshan will be honored by the temple. On Wednesday (March 25, 2026), Secretary Sayan Kunal gave information in this regard.
He told that like every year, this time too the doors will open for the devotees at 2 o’clock in the night. Worship will take place for about 15 minutes. Devotees will start having darshan from 2:15 pm. Sayan Kunal said that according to Hrishikesh Panchang, Navami Tithi is entering from 2:11 pm on March 26. Navami Tithi is ending on 27th March at 12:12. Considering the date of Udaya, there is auspicious time for Ramnavmi on 27th March, hence Ramnavmi will be celebrated on 27th March in Mahavir Temple only.
Devotees without flowers, garlands and prasad will be able to enter after 12:00 noon. Devotees will also be able to have live darshan. For this, this time 20 LED screens will be installed outside the temple. Apart from the district administration and Patna Police, about 150 volunteers will be deployed for security. There will be arrangements for medical team, ambulance, toilets etc. for male and female devotees.
There will also be cultural programs
There will also be cultural programs outside for the entertainment of the devotees. On the day of Ram Navami, the crowd inside and outside the temple will be monitored through CCTV cameras. Sayan Kunal told that last time (2025) on the day of Ram Navami, 18000 kg Naivedyam Laddus were sold. This time sales of 20000 kg are expected. For this, 22 to 24000 Naivedyam Prasad are being made.
On the other hand, work of decorating the temple with lights and flowers is going on. All the flowers have been brought from Kolkata. This time more than four lakh devotees are likely to visit. At the time of Ram Janmotsav, flowers will be showered and Prasad will be distributed among the devotees. For this, two Naivedyam Prasad weighing 51 kg are being prepared.
Line will be connected to Veer Kunwar Singh
Information was given that the line of devotees will start from Veer Kunwar Singh Park. Barricading of steel and bamboo is being done. Apart from the Naivedyam Prasad counter in the temple, 14 additional counters have been made outside.
