点评:Here is a quick review of my trip.
1. Be Prepared for a lot of walk.
2. Book Online tickets wherever possible. There is a separate queue for Online ticketing and Offline ticketing. Online Ticketing Queue is quicker.
3. If you have prebooked Online Mani Darshan, you may easily enter temple at 5am. No need to queue up at 4am, as suggested in other reviews. Queue moves very fast. So easily you can have darshan. Mani Darshan timings are from 5am to 6am. People start queuing up from 4am, which I believe to be a waste of sleep and time. Enter directly from East Gate for Mani Darshan,
4. After Mani Darshan, you will exit from the Gate, depending on the queue management system at your time. You cannot choose the gate to exit. There are 4 gates. North, East, West, South. After Mani Darsha, head directly to North Gate for Agni Theertham. It is ~700 mtr away (10 mins of walk). This is the place where Lordees Sita performed Agni Pareeksha. You can either do a deep bath or just sprinkle waters, depending upon your belief.
5. Post Agni Theertham, head to East gate for 22 Kund entry. Queue moves vey fast. Due to corruption, locals have created a preferential treatment for people who pay more money. I am totally against it. The general queue also moves pretty fast. Just that they will pour little less water on you. But trust me, even in general line, the water poured (22 times for 22 kund) is sufficient.
6. Post 22 Kund, head to dry your clothes. We booked a hotel closer to temple and went to hotel to dry clothes. But there is an option within the temple premises also to dry & change clothes (not suitable for females as it is an open area)
7. Post change of clothes, head to Vishwalingam Darshan (Lingam bought by Hanuman ji). Upon entering the temple, it is the first temple on the righthand side. Religious belief says to have darshan of Vishwalingam (Lingam bought by Hanuman ji) first and then Ramalingam (Lingam made by Sitaji)
8. After Hanuman Darshan, the serene Darshan of Ram ji. Just do Jai Jai kar and enter the temple. If lucky, you may also see temple Elephant and temple Cows. If you believe, you may pay and tough their trunk or tail. Believed to be sacred.
9. After Ramalingam darshan, head to Amman Darshan (Parvati ji).
10. Tip: If you book Abhishek (Rs 3k), no need to buy VIP tickets. By default, you can enter in VIP Darshan queue. 4 people allowed in 1 Abhishek ticket.
11. There are 2 Abhishek. Charanamrit Abhishek and Rudra Abhishek. Charanamrit last for 120 secs and you stand in front of Ram ji Idol and see Panditji doing Abhishek. You cannot touch with your hands.
12. Rudra Abhishek last for 30 mins, but you sit a little far from Ram ji idol. Assigned Pandya will perform Abhishek.
13. Total time taken - Mani Darshan (start 5am end 5.30 am); Agni Theertham 30 mins. 22 Kund 45 mins. We started hotel at 4.45am and reach back hotel to dry clothes at 7.30 am. Main Ramji Darshan 30 mins, Parvati Amma 15 mins. 1 hour approx. We were done with all Darshan by 11 am.
翻译:以下是我此趟旅行的简要总结:
1. 要做好大量步行的准备。
2. 尽可能在线购票。线上购票和线下购票有各自的排队区,其中线上购票的队伍移动得更快。
3. 如果您已提前在线预约了“马尼达尔尚”入场资格,那么凌晨5点即可轻松进入寺庙。无需像其他评论建议的那样凌晨4点就去排队——队伍前进速度很快,因此很容易就能完成参拜。“马尼达尔尚”的开放时间为凌晨5点至6点,人们则从凌晨4点开始排队。我认为那样做纯粹是浪费睡眠和时间。请直接从东门进入以进行玛尼石朝拜。
4. 完成玛尼石朝拜后,您需根据当时的排队管理系统从指定出口离开。您无法自行选择出口。共有四个出口:北门、东门、西门和南门。朝拜结束后,请直接前往北门,那里就是阿格尼圣池的所在地。距离约为700米(步行约10分钟)。传说中,悉多夫人就是在此处接受了火试炼。你可以选择泡个深水澡,也可以仅仅让水洒在身上,这完全取决于你的信仰。
5. 完成阿格尼提尔塔仪式后,前往东门进入22个圣池区。排队速度相当快。由于腐败现象的存在,当地人便为愿意支付更多费用的人提供优待。我对此完全持反对态度。普通队列的进度也很快,只是工作人员往你身上倒的水量会稍少一些。但相信我,即便是在普通队列中,所倾倒的水量(22次,对应22个圣池)也足够了。
6. 穿过22个圣池区后。去把衣服晾干吧。我们订了一家离寺庙更近的酒店,便去酒店晾干衣服。不过寺庙内也有晾衣和更衣的场所(但由于是开放区域,不适合女性使用)。
7. 换好衣服后,前往 Vishwalingam Darshan(即哈努曼大师所购的林伽)。进入寺庙后,右边第一个庙宇就是了。宗教信仰要求:先瞻仰维什瓦林伽(哈努曼ji购买的林伽),然后再瞻仰罗摩林伽(悉塔ji制作的林伽)。
8. 瞻仰完哈努曼后,便可静心瞻仰罗摩神像。只需高呼“Jai Jai”便可进入寺庙。运气好的话,还有可能见到寺庙的大象和牛群。若心怀信仰,也可付费触摸它们的象鼻或尾巴,这些均被视为具有神圣意义。
9. 瞻仰完罗摩林伽后,便去瞻仰阿曼神像(帕尔瓦蒂ji)。
10. 小贴士:若您预订了阿比谢克仪式(费用3000卢比),无需购买VIP票。默认情况下,您可进入VIP朝拜队列。1张阿比谢克票允许4人一同进入。
11. 阿比谢克仪式共有两种:查拉纳姆里特阿比谢克与鲁德拉阿比谢克。查拉纳姆里特仪式持续120秒,您需要站在罗摩神像前观看祭司进行仪式,但不可用手触碰神像。
12. 鲁德拉阿比谢克仪式持续30分钟,但参与者需坐在离罗摩神像稍远的位置。指定的潘迪亚祭司会主持仪式。
13. 整个过程所需时间——玛尼朝拜(从凌晨5点开始,至5点结束。30分钟;阿格尼提尔塔需30分钟,22个库恩德需45分钟。我们凌晨4点45分从酒店出发,早上7点30分返回酒店晾干衣物。主拉姆吉朝拜需30分钟,帕尔瓦蒂阿玛朝拜需15分钟,整个过程大约耗时1小时。我们在上午11点前完成了所有朝拜活动。
