Speaking about tourism and pilgrimage in Ayodhya, the Chief Minister had said, “Ayodhya is popular for Ramjanmabhoomi. Work in Ayodhya is going on for the construction of Lord Ram temple. Lakhs of devotees and pilgrims visit Ayodhya. The city offers an amalgamation of spirituality and tourism and both the central and state governments are working for its development.”
Last year on August 5, Prime Minister Modi had visited Ayodhya to attend the ‘Bhoomi pujan’ at the Ram Janmbhoomi site.
In February 2020, the Prime had announced the constitution of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Teerth Kshetra, to oversee the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
