Ayodhya, Jan. 27 -- A surge in devotees visiting the Ram Janmbhoomi Temple in Ayodhya has led authorities to tighten security measures. The influx is attributed to the ongoing Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, where devotees take a holy dip before visiting the Ram temple.

To accommodate the growing crowd, special arrangements have been made, including expanding capacity and ensuring devotees' safety during the cold weather.

"The number of people coming to Ayodhya is continuously increasing and the main reason for this is the Maha Kumbh Mela organized in Prayagraj, a large number of people are coming here after taking a holy dip there... ATS and commandos are also deployed. All arrangements have been made for the devotees," said Balramachari Dubey...
