Ayodhya’s Renaissance: From Temple City to Global Hub
Situated on the banks of the holy river Sarayu, the city of Ayodhya has long held deep religious ties for the Indian populace. The recent Pran Pratishtha ceremony of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple has only served to reinforce these reverent sentiments.
However, this move, along with a string of government initiatives aimed at uplifting the city’s infrastructure, has had an interesting effect on the city’s real estate sector. Indeed, the ancient city of India has witnessed an exponential rise in circle prices, with experts estimating the price in the city ranging from Rs 2,000 to Rs 10,000 per sq. ft, competing with mega real estate hubs like Gurgaon, Bangalore, and Pune.
The town is projected to be the epicentre of devotion and development, attracting devotees and investors alike. In this vein, various modernization projects have been undertaken. From the construction of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram International Airport to the development of a 1,890-acre smart city, Navya Ayodhya, to a model solar development plan for the city, the temple city is envisioned to transform into a global hub where spirituality meets modern comforts.
In addition to this, the city will soon possess seamless inter- and intra-state connectivity, with the Chaurasi Kosi Parikrama route being declared a national highway with upgraded road links and a revamped Ayodhya Dham Railway Station. This sea change in the city’s infrastructure has led to leading real estate developers in the country hankering to invest in the city.
In a show of belief in the city’s potential, India’s number one branded land developer, the House of Abhinandan Lodha, has recently committed Rs 12,000 crore to the spiritual city’s economic development. Furthermore, the developer has recently launched Ayodhya’s first seven-star integrated township, Sarayu. Named after the holy river, the township, spread across 25 acres, is envisioned to grant its residents a feel of spiritual luxury by blending old-world charms with contemporary luxuries.
The development, located conveniently 10–12 minutes away from the newly inaugurated Ram Mandir and 30 minutes away from the upcoming international airport, is divided into three sectors: Ananta, Jal Tarang, and Atulya, with the architecture inspired by the aforementioned temple.
Every element in this township is curated to endow it with the magnificence of the ancient royal cities. From the massive ornate entrance gates that welcome you to the township to the scenic welcoming garden and the 12,000-square-foot clubhouse, everything here is imbued with grandeur befitting a historical empire. In addition to this, the township is planned to have the best of amenities, like an expansive amphitheatre, an extravagant 40-foot swimming pool, a 4000-square-foot luxury restaurant, and many other posh features, all selected to provide its residents with the best of luxuries.
In conclusion, Ayodhya’s blend of spirituality and modernisation is reshaping its real estate landscape, attracting investors and residents alike. With initiatives like the Ram Mandir and Navya Ayodhya, coupled with major infrastructure projects, the city is poised for exponential growth. Sarayu Township symbolises this transformation, offering a luxurious lifestyle amidst the city’s rich cultural heritage.
