Ram Darbar darshan for devotees likely in 10-15 days, says Misra
Devotees eager to visit the recently unveiled Ram Darbar on the first floor of the Ram temple in Ayodhya may soon have their wish granted. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust is planning to allow darshan of the Ram Darbar within the next 10 to 15 days.
However, due to security concerns, the Trust will issue only a limited number of passes daily. According to Nripendra Misra, chairman of the Ram Mandir Construction Committee, the Trust will take a decision on the issue soon.
'Devotees are likely to be allowed to visit Ram Darbar in the next 10 days,' Misra said in Ayodhya. He added that the Trust has held detailed discussions with representatives from the Central Building Research Institute (CBRI, Roorkee) regarding the arrangements for the darshan.
Ram Darbar consists of the idols of Lord Ram and Mata Sita seated on a throne with Hanuman and Bharat depicted in a prayerful posture at their feet and Lakshman and Shatrughan standing beside them.
The Ram Mandir Construction Committee has tasked CBRI, Roorkee, with conducting monthly reviews of the temple's ongoing construction work.
'The Trust is making comprehensive arrangements for the darshan, ensuring that devotees can have a smooth and fulfilling experience,' Misra added.
Chief minister Yogi Adityanath presided over the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Ram Darbar on June 5. However, devotees have not yet been permitted to visit the Ram Darbar yet due to security concerns.
'Construction work of the Ram Mandir is almost complete with Ram Lalla installed on the ground floor and his family on the first floor. The second floor will house rare and significant scriptures related to Lord Ram,' said Trust general secretary Champat Rai on Saturday.
Jaipur-based sculptor Satya Narain Pandey and his team have crafted the Ram Darbar made of white makrana marble.
'The sculpting of the Ram Darbar took approximately three months. During this phase, artisans performed daily prayers and rituals,' Pandey said.
Govt institutions' key role in construction:
The construction of the Ram Mandir was a collaborative effort with support and expertise from various government institutions.
IIT and CBRI: These institutions provided invaluable technical expertise and support to the project.
Railway ministry: The ministry of railways played a role in the construction.
Archaeological Survey of India (ASI): An ASI team is currently conducting a survey of the area where Ram Lalla was previously housed in a tent.
Defence ministry: An organisation under the ministry of defence is working on the titanium lattice, a crucial component for the temple.
The trust is making payments to all the institutions involved.
Pushkarni and Panchavati
The Ram Temple complex will encompass several notable features, including:
Pushkarni: A sacred water tank, centrally located within the Saptarishi (seven sages) area.
Panchavati: A natural area that will be preserved in its original state, allowing animals and birds to benefit from the surroundings.

Tiny notes, big dreams: What pocket money taught 90s kids
It was the first of the waited near the door, restless and excited, peeking out every few minutes to catch a glimpse of their father walking down the lane. Not because they missed him more that day, but because it was pay day. And in most Indian households back in the 80s and 90s, salary day meant one more thing: pocket money would enter, tired from the long commute and the weight of bills in his briefcase. But the moment he reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out those crumpled rs 5 or rs 10 notes, the room would erupt in glee. That small note was more than just money; it was freedom, status, and pure joy. Some rushed off to buy Phantom sweet cigarettes. Others saved it to rent video games on Sunday. A few stashed it in old tin boxes, waiting for the day it would grow enough to buy a comic or a friendship to 2025, and the scene has changed. Kids now get a ping on their phones, notifying them that rs 5,000 or even rs 20,000 has been transferred to their digital wallets. No waiting. No ceremony. Just a quiet notification a tap to JOY OF SMALL THINGS: LIFE IN RS 10advertisementIn a world without instant delivery and cashless transactions, even rs 10 felt magical. You didn't ask for more you planned, saved, and sometimes even bargained with siblings to pool your cash for something bigger."I used to get rs 5 every Sunday from my grandfather," recalls Gaurav Sharma, 41, from Agra. "That was my freedom money. I'd run to the corner shop to buy Phantom cigarettes (those sweet pink sticks), or rent a comic. I learned to plan, to wait. Instant gratification wasn't even a concept." Nina Arora, 66, a retired teacher and mother of two now-grown kids, remembers the ritual. "We didn't give money for the sake of it. We treated it like a reward. If my son helped with chores or behaved well at school, he got a rs 10 note. That note had so much power."For many girls, it was spent on stickers, colourful erasers, bangles from the street market, or a bar of Perk. And for most boys, it meant marbles, trading cards, or a quick joyride in the form of Mario at the neighbourhood game VS. NOW: A GENERATIONAL FLIPBOOK Today's pocket money isn't given by hand-it's sent online. Children can swipe cards, scan QR codes, and even track their expenses through analytics DIGITAL WALLET GENERATIONShruti Nair, 14, from Bengaluru, gets rs 8,000 a month as allowance. "I use it for my OTT subscriptions, ordering food, and buying clothes online. I don't like to ask my parents each time. This way I can manage my own spending," she says, scrolling through her Fampay account. This level of autonomy would've been unimaginable to their parents at that Mehta, 42, a Delhi-based mother of two, chuckles, "My son knows how to use Paytm and scan QR codes better than I do. I'm amazed at how tech-savvy they are, but I do wonder-have they ever felt the thrill of counting coins saved over three months?"advertisementLESSONS IN VALUE: DELAYED VS. INSTANT GRATIFICATIONFor 90s kids, pocket money wasn't just about spending it was about learning. That humble rs 10 note handed over once a month taught the art of budgeting long before Excel sheets existed. It taught patience, waiting weeks to afford a comic or a cricket card. It taught value-every coin saved was a step closer to a dream toy or a chocolate bar. And above all, it taught gratitude. Because pocket money came not from clicks, but from a parent's hard-earned salary and a silent understanding that this small amount carried with it love, trust, and a gentle push toward responsibility."We would save for months just to buy a Tazo cap or a movie ticket," says Deepika Joshi, 38, a marketing professional in Mumbai. "When I bought my first Walkman with saved pocket money, I felt like a queen."Today's kids are financially smart in a different way. They know how to transfer, recharge, and invest-but often miss the emotional connect that comes from waiting, saving, and dreaming about a small MONEY AS A MIRROR OF THE TIMES Pocket money has always reflected not just inflation, but aspiration. The simplicity of the past isn't necessarily better or worse-it's just different. Our kids are growing up in a world of subscriptions, gaming coins, and on-demand everything. Still, somewhere, a 40-year-old mother stares fondly at her child's digital card and remembers the joy of spotting a rs 2 coin under the pillow. Somewhere, a father picks up a Tinkle at a bookstore and smiles, remembering the day he spent his entire allowance on THAN JUST MONEYWhether it was rs 10 a month or rs 10K a tap, pocket money has always been more than just a monetary allowance. It's the first taste of freedom, the first lesson in decision-making, and a quiet doorway into adulthood. So here's to the piggy banks, the jam jars filled with coins, the secret stashes in school bags-and to every kid, past or present, who felt rich just holding their own credit: Generative AI by Vani Gupta
