Donations made through the Bharat bill payment system to the Ayodhya Ram temple doubled every two hours on Sunday, according to a person in the know.
This comes ahead of the temple’s ‘Pran Pratishthan’ ceremony for the new idol Ram Lalla, scheduled for Monday.
Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra was added on BBPS in the last 24 hours, said the person cited above. The number of donations, made through UPI, as well as their amount doubles every two hours, allowing worshipers to digitally connect with the inauguration even if they are not physically present, this person said.
Bharat Bill Payment System is India’s bill payment and donation network where users can use different payment modes including the Unified Payments Interface to make payments.
Donations to temples and other devotional trusts can be made through BBPS, if the recipient is added by banks, payment companies and other related institutions. Major payment apps including PhonePe, Google Pay and Paytm have built trust into BBPS.
