Anil Mishra, trustee of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, the trust in charge of the temple's construction and management, said 10 donation counters were opened after the pran pratistha on Monday.

 

On Tuesday, devotees made offerings in cash at the temple counters and online donations, totalling Rs 3.17 crore, Mishra told PTI.

He added that more than 5 lakh Ram devotees paid obeisance the temple on Tuesday and the same number of devotees also turned up on Wednesday.

Arrangements are being made in consultation with the administration to ensure that darshan is done in an organised manner, Mishra said.

Meanwhile, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's office-bearer Dattatreya Hosabale has instructed the Sangh workers around Ayodhya to take up the responsibility of cleaning the temple and cooperate in conducting well-organised temple darshan.
