Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh – In the wake of the highly anticipated consecration of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, Ayodhya is gearing up for another groundbreaking development – the world’s first seven-star, vegetarian-only hotel. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in a press interaction, revealed that this innovative hospitality project was one of 25 proposals received for property development in the sacred city.
Scheduled for inauguration after the ‘pran prathishta’ ceremony on January 22, the luxury hotel is designed to be a haven for pilgrims and tourists alike. Boasting 56 fully air-conditioned rooms adorned with grand décor, the hotel promises a serene and opulent retreat. Adding to the allure is the ‘Naivedyam’ restaurant, offering a diverse range of pure vegetarian cuisines.
CM Yogi Adityanath emphasized that the development of this luxury property aligns with the vision of establishing Ayodhya as a place with world-class facilities. Currently capable of accommodating 50,000 devotees, Ayodhya is set to welcome the Shri Ram International Airport, strategically located 15 kilometers from the pilgrimage site. Major restaurant chains are also eyeing the city to cater to the expected influx of tourists.
In an effort to enhance connectivity, a green corridor from Varanasi is in progress, with similar projects planned for Gorakhpur, Lucknow, and Prayagraj. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan’s reported investment in an enclave near the main temple further underscores Ayodhya’s growing appeal. This multifaceted development is poised to transform the holy city into a modern pilgrimage destination.
As Ayodhya embraces progress, plans are underway for multiple five-star properties along the picturesque banks of the Sarayu River. The confluence of spirituality and luxury in Ayodhya is set to redefine the travel experience for devotees and tourists alike.
