Ayodhya, one of the most sacred cities in India, where Lord Ram was born. Following the new Ram Mandir\u2019s inauguration, Ayodhya has turned into a global pilgrimage center with approximately 1\u20132 lakh people visiting every day<\/strong>. The real estate boom of Ayodhya is supported by huge state investment of more than \u20b985,000-100,000 crore<\/strong> in infrastructure and tourism. The Maharishi Valmiki International Airport and the refurbished Ayodhya Dham Railway Station (11.5 lakh passengers\/day) have greatly increased the connectivity, and projects such as Ram Path, Bhakti Path<\/strong>, and large highway extensions have brought more ease of connecting. An envisaged \u20b91200 crores ropeway<\/strong> would further ease the intra city travel. On the tourism front, Ayodhya has so far seen 10-11 crore visitors in months of Ram Mandir opening, and is expected to draw 5-6 crore visitors annually<\/strong>. Hotel capacity has increased 30%-40%<\/strong> over 3 years, to serve this burst, and there are 5, 000+ rooms and 1,000+ homestays<\/strong> currently in operation. This has directly spurred growth in real estate and property prices have increased 25-40%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city is well-known for its Kashi Vishwanath Temple and its ghat locations along the river Ganga and after the development of the Kashi Vishwanath corridor, the amount of daily visitation to Varanasi exceeds 100,000+ people per day<\/strong>, with annual visitation numbers exceeding 700-800 million visitors<\/strong>, including more and more international visitors.  Better accessibility has been brought about by the development of more seamless connections with the Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport<\/strong> and major road connections.The hospitality industry has grown exponentially, with hotel stock increasing by 25%-35%<\/strong> and a growing fascination with hotels and old estates. This increase in real estate prices has been driven by this tourism demand of 40% and 80% in the last 3 years<\/strong> with prime riverfront and temple-near locations posting even greater gains. <\/p>
