Ayodhya, the sacred city revered by millions, is set to receive a significant tourism push with the unveiling of a luxurious five-star hotel project by online travel company EaseMyTrip. The announcement comes amidst a surge in pilgrim footfall, with devotees flocking to the city daily to offer prayers at the revered Ram temple.
The proposed hotel, strategically located less than a kilometer away from the Ram Lalla temple, aims to redefine the hospitality experience for pilgrims and tourists visiting Ayodhya. Rikant Pitti, the co-founder of EaseMyTrip, expressed enthusiasm about the venture, emphasizing its substantial investment of up to ₹100 crore through Jeewani Hospitality Private Limited.
“This visionary project represents a collaborative effort to elevate the standard of luxury lodging in Ayodhya,” Pitti stated. Leveraging EaseMyTrip’s expertise in travel and Jeewani Hospitality’s hospitality excellence, the project aspires to provide unparalleled comfort and cultural engagement to visitors.
With a commitment to enhancing India’s tourism sector, Pitti highlighted the company’s dedication to delivering exceptional travel experiences. “Our upcoming 5-star hotel in Ayodhya reflects our pledge to offer a blend of opulence, comfort, and cultural immersion in this historical city,” he added.
The announcement of the hotel project coincides with Ayodhya’s heightened significance following the ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony of the Ram temple, presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 22. The event has attracted a surge in devotee traffic from across India and beyond.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision to transform Uttar Pradesh into a trillion-dollar economy within the next five years underscores the strategic importance of Ayodhya in driving economic growth. In alignment with this vision, the state government has allocated substantial funds for the all-round development of Ayodhya, further bolstering its tourism infrastructure.
As Ayodhya emerges as a focal point for spiritual and cultural tourism, initiatives like EaseMyTrip’s 5-star hotel project are poised to enhance the city’s appeal, offering visitors a harmonious blend of luxury, tradition, and spiritual enrichment. With concerted efforts from both public and private sectors, Ayodhya is poised to emerge as a premier destination, enriching the tourism landscape of India.
