Ayodhya: Grand visitor gallery to be added to Ram Ki Paidi during Deepotsav, selfie point being developed

Ayodhya, Oct 24 (UNI) Devotees and tourists visiting Ram Ki Paidi in Ayodhya during Deepotsav will soon witness a new attraction.
The grand visitor gallery and selfie point being developed here will enhance the beauty of the complex and provide tourists with an opportunity to capture memorable moments.
Work on the project is progressing rapidly, and completion is targeted for this month.
This ambitious project of the Tourism Department is being implemented by the Uttar Pradesh Projects Corporation Limited. The entire area is set to be illuminated with lights and decorations during the Deepotsav.
This year Deepotsav will be celebrated in Ayodhya on November 7.
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Ayodhya is being developed as a world-class tourist destination.
Given the unprecedented increase in tourist footfall following the consecration of the Shri Ram Temple, priority is being given to the development of modern facilities at religious sites.
The visitor gallery and selfie point being constructed at Ram Ki Paidi are steps in this direction.
Under this project, costing ₹23.67 crore, stairs are being constructed at the Deepotsav site. The entire area is being developed with designer red sandstone flooring, large-sized, attractive designer glass lamps, Surya pillars, designer umbrellas, plantation sites, and bollard lights.
These facilities are expected to enhance the beauty of the complex and provide a better experience for tourists.
The visitor gallery and selfie point being developed at Ram Ki Paidi will become a new center of attraction for tourists. The decorations and modern facilities will provide a comfortable experience for devotees and an opportunity to cherish memories of their visit to Ayodhya.
Manoj Kumar Sharma, associated with the project management, stated that with the completion of the project, preparations for the Deepotsav are also reaching their final stages.
This area, illuminated with millions of lamps, will attract tourists. These facilities will enhance the convenience of devotees and tourists and enhance Ayodhya's image.
This project is an important step towards further strengthening Ayodhya on the global tourism map.
The designer mural wall being constructed in the Ram Ki Paidi complex will also be a special attraction.
It features attractive images of religious sites, Treta Yuga temples, and lamps. Through these artistic paintings, an effort has been made to bring to life the ancient religious heritage of Ayodhya and the cultural splendor of the era of Lord Shri Ram.
During the festival of lights, this mural wall will attract devotees and tourists to the illuminated premises.
This confluence of traditional religious heritage and modern amenities will add a new dimension to the beauty of Ram Ki Paidi and help make the tourist experience in Ayodhya even more memorable.
