New Delhi: Considering that more than three lakh people are expected to visit Ayodhya daily in the coming years, planning for the temple town has been done after studying similar examples abroad, including Vatican City, Cambodia, Jerusalem, as also places in India, such as Tirupati and Amritsar, according to Dikshu Kukreja, the master planner behind the project, PTI reported.
Efficient land use, minimum congestion, a focus on dharamshalas and homestays, and upgrading the infrastructure while retaining the historical and cultural character of the city are some of the highlights of the plan, the report added.
“Ayodhya is anticipated to become a global tourism destination with a focus on spiritual, cultural, heritage assets and events as the city is likely to grow manifold with a significant demand in hospitality and allied industries.
“The city is envisaged to be developed as a mega centre for tourist, economic and religious activities. More than three lakh devotees are expected to visit Ayodhya daily within the next three-four years,” Kukreja was quoted as saying.
