Both the chief ministers arrived in the city by air this afternoon.
Though Kejriwal, who is the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was invited for the January 22 Pran Pratishtha (consecration) ceremony of the idol of Ram Lalla, he had said he wanted to visit it later with his family.
Kejriwal and Mann were hosted over lunch by Champat Rai, General Secretary of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra, AAP UP president Sabhajeet Singh said.
Speaking to media persons at Ayodhya airport before returning to Delhi, Kejriwal said, "We have prayed at the temple for happiness, peace and health of everyone."
Mann said India is a country of multiple religious faiths where all festivals are celebrated together.
"At the Ram temple, we prayed for peace and brotherhood in the country. India is a bouquet of flowers of different hues each with its own unique fragrance," the Punjab chief minster said.
In a post on X, Arvind Kejriwal said, "Reaching Ayodhya today with my parents and my wife, I had the privilege of having the divine darshan of Ramlala ji in the Shri Ram temple. Bhagwant ji and his family were also present on this occasion."
"Everyone together had darshan of Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram Ji and prayed for the progress of the country and the welfare of all humanity. May Lord Shri Ramchandra ji bless everyone. Jai Shri Ram," he added.
An idol Lord Ram was consecrated at the Ayodhya temple on January 22.
