Three aartis run daily at Ram Janmabhoomi: Mangal Aarti at 4:00 AM, Shringar Aarti at 6:00 AM and Shayan Aarti at 10:00 PM. These times come from the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra trust’s own site — checked 01 October 2026 — and became the times shown on booking receipts after the trust’s 18 April 2026 notification.

Pass facts, in one place
- Aarti attendance is by pass, and the pass is free — the trust’s site states it charges no fee for aarti or darshan passes.
- Booking happens only at online.srjbtkshetra.org; the trust explicitly warns that it does not authorise any agents. Anyone selling an aarti pass is not part of the system.
- Booking needs name, age, Aadhaar number, mobile number and city; the physical copy of the booked ID is mandatory for entry, and attendance must be confirmed on the portal 24 hours in advance (reported by Times of India on the pass process, January 2024).
- A 2024 report put aarti attendance at about 30 pass-holders per aarti — small enough that passes go fast around festivals. We could not verify whether that cap still holds; check the portal when you book.
How the aarti times differ from older articles
Many articles still circulating list Shringar Aarti at 6:15 AM, from a June 2025 Times of India piece. The trust’s site now says 6:00 AM. Where a trust site and a news report disagree, we follow the trust and note the conflict — which is exactly why every table on 1city carries a last-checked date.
