Ayodhya, the sacred city of Lord Ram, is all set to dazzle the world with a new attraction that will showcase its rich culture and heritage. The Ayodhya Haat, a splendid complex of stalls, cottages, restaurants and entertainment facilities, will be a feast for the eyes and the soul.
It will be located at the Chaudhary Charan Singh Ghat on the bank of river Saryu, where the divine aura of Ram temple will be felt. This project, undertaken by the Ayodhya Development Authority, aims to transform the religious town into a tourist destination that will enchant everyone.
A Boost for Local Economy and Artisans
The Ayodhya Haat will attract visitors from across the country and abroad and provide a platform for local artisans to display and sell their handicrafts. The stalls at the Haat will offer various products, such as pottery, woodwork, metalwork, paintings, textiles and jewellery, made by the skilled craftsmen of Ayodhya. The Haat will also generate local employment opportunities and boost the region's economy.
A Floating Restaurant and Boat Services
One of the highlights of the Ayodhya Haat will be a floating restaurant offering a panoramic view of the river Saryu and the Ram Temple. The restaurant will serve delicious cuisines from different parts of India and abroad. The visitors will also enjoy boat rides on the river and experience the serene beauty of Ayodhya. The Haat will also have Ram Kutir cottages for those who want to stay overnight at the ghat.
Cultural Programmes, Laser Shows and Musical Fountains
The Ayodhya Haat will also host various cultural programmes, such as dance, music, drama and puppet shows, reflecting Ayodhya's rich history and traditions. The visitors will also be treated to spectacular laser shows and musical fountains that will add to the charm of the Haat.
The Haat will maintain high standards of cleanliness and environmental practices to ensure a pleasant experience for the visitors.
A Part of Yogi Adityanath Government's Vision
The Ayodhya Haat project is part of the Yogi Adityanath government's initiative to transform Ayodhya into a prominent religious tourist destination. The state government has completed 17 projects worth several crores in Ayodhya in the last five years, such as beautification of ghats, construction of roads and bridges, development of parks and gardens, installation of street lights and CCTV cameras, and renovation of temples and monuments.
The government also expects a substantial increase in tourists after the Ram temple is opened for devotees in January next.
