To manage the increasing number of devotees visiting the Ram Mandir, the Ayodhya administration has planned a new 2.5 km-long corridor. This corridor will help ease congestion and allow pilgrims to move more smoothly towards the temple.
The ongoing Mahakumbh in Prayagraj has led to a huge rise in the number of visitors coming to Ayodhya. Every day, nearly five lakh devotees are arriving to seek blessings at the Ram Mandir. On special religious days like Mauni Amavasya, which was observed on January 29, the crowd grew even larger. The roads, especially the 13 km-long Ram Path, have been overcrowded, making movement difficult.
To handle such a situation in the future, the district administration has decided to create a new pathway that will provide an alternative route for pilgrims. The new corridor will start from Tedhi Bazar, pass through Asharfi Bhawan, and end at the Post Office tri-crossing. It will be seven meters wide and is expected to cost ₹75 crore.
This new corridor will help in managing the increasing rush of visitors, especially on important religious days. Currently, the main roads leading to the temple get heavily crowded, causing delays and difficulties for both pilgrims and local residents.

The district administration has learned from the recent experiences of managing large gatherings during the Mahakumbh. The new pathway will ensure a smoother flow of people, preventing congestion on the existing roads. Senior officials have stated that once completed, the corridor will allow direct access to the Ram Mandir without affecting the overall traffic in Ayodhya.
According to Gaurav Dayal, the divisional commissioner of Ayodhya, the proposal has already been sent to the state government for approval. Once the approval is granted, the construction work will begin soon. Officials are confident that this project will provide much-needed relief from overcrowding in Ayodhya and enhance the pilgrimage experience for devotees.
Additionally, authorities plan to use roads behind Hanuman Garhi and Kanak Bhawan to further streamline movement in and around the temple area. These efforts are aimed at making Ayodhya a more organized and accessible religious destination for millions of devotees.
With this new project, the administration hopes to create a better experience for visitors while ensuring smooth traffic flow in the holy city.
