Ram Temple Priests Adopt New Dress Code, Ban Mobile Phones

Ram temple priests have switched their traditional saffron attire to a new yellow dress code, effective from July 1. Alongside this change, mobile phones are now banned within the shrine premises.

Priests at the Ram temple have undergone a significant change in their dress code. Traditionally seen in saffron, their new attire is yellow as part of a new mandate effective from July 1, according to temple officials.

Previously, the priests, including the chief priest and assistant priests, donned a saffron turban, kurta, and dhoti. Now, they wear yellow dhoti, 'chaubandi' kurta, and matching yellow turban. The transformation is not merely cosmetic; each of the assistant priests is now accompanied by five trainee priests to render services in five-hour shifts.

In addition to the new dress code, the priests have been banned from bringing mobile phones into the shrine, enhancing the sanctity of their service, said temple officials.
