Devotees are pouring in just after the opening of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.

Compared to other major cities in Uttar Pradesh, the real estate market in Ayodhya is increasing significantly. It is said that the prices of land there have already increased four times. Apart from the locals, people from other parts of the country are also showing interest in buying land in Ayodhya. As a result, land prices have skyrocketed not only in the city but also in the suburbs.
In Ayodhya city in 2019, the price of a square foot of land was between Rs. 1000 and Rs. 2000. Now it is Rs. 6,000. Also, land prices in the suburbs, which were around Rs. 700, have increased to Rs. 3,000. With the opening of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir, the number of tourists coming every year is expected to increase significantly. According to UP Tourism statistics, Ayodhya received only 3.25 lakh tourists in 2021, but in 2022, their numbers increased by 85 times to 2.39 crore.
Now that the temple has opened, the UP government hopes that the number of pilgrims visiting Ayodhya every day will be more than one lakh. Many townships and private hotels are already coming up in the city. The government has also granted land for this purpose. Most popular hotels like Taj, Radisson, and ITC have focused on buying land in Ayodhya.

It is said that it will also benefit the economy.
