Was in #Ayodhya for 3 days last week. Will gradually collect myself for a detailed writeup.
Some quick material updates that will make people like me happy.
I begin by loudly proclaiming -
“Maharaj #YogiAdityanath -ji ki Jai”

1. The Road from Lucknow to Ayodhya is very good. Lakshman-ji indeed takes us to Sriram smoothly, in around 2.5 hours, without stress and strain.
Our driver scared us “Bearish ki vajah-se Rasta bahut bigaDh-gayaa hai”.
Exaggeration it was. Felt happy. Such high expectations.

2. Forget the road from Lucknow to Ayodhya, even the roads from Prayag and Kashi to Ayodhya are in good shape. Got a good peek into them.
The road from Lucknow was a smaller one which has expanded into a proper 2+2 lane road of good quality during Yogi-ji/Modi-ji.

3. Within the radius of 3-4 kms from the Temple, a good number of hotel/restaurant facility has sprung up in the last 4 years. At least one 4-Star Hotel.
The one I stayed, The Ramayana Hotel, was outstanding. If that quality sustains and more hotels spring up - that’s it.

4. That luxury is secondary. The real story is the emergence of Roads within the town of Ayodhya.
There are multiple ways in you can reach the temple area/Sarayoo Ghat. All of them are now well tarred. Others are well-tiled for walking.
All in last 5 years. Yogiji knows.

5. There is a mini revolution of E-Rickshaw in Ayodhya. They are available everywhere. A huge number people now have bought this or have been given. This is the best vehicle to move around in the inside of Ayodhya - can go from anywhere to anywhere.
Cars are to be avoided.

6. Considerable increase in cleanliness, although, there is a long way to go. Work in progress. Overall experience very good. Serenity experience isn’t harmed.
Many streets have seen an uplift. Some areas are still left. Faizabad area will take time.
Matter of few years.

7. Humungous increase in the Confidence Levels of People.
- haven’t forgotten the past. History passed on very well through stories and legends
- know the enormity of the place that they have been protecting
RamTemple rising one brick at a time - a matter of AtmavishvAs.

8. Roads from major cities to Ayodhya has significantly increased the number of Yatri-s into the City.
This has made a steady business possible for Taxi owners/drivers. My driver spent 3 years in Kerala, then in Dubai & has now returned .
Gets 1 trip to Lucknow per day.

9. People are very clear
- Previous governments anchored themselves on caste narratives/differences/faultlines
- Yogi-ji is the first government anchoring on the larger H identity.
- They have their version on who actually shot Karsevaks in 1990s that’s for another day.

10. There are many things that can be bettered. But the transformation within a short period is the consequence of a few things
- The Judicial Verdict
- Yogi-ji resolve
- The Yagna where Modi-ji sat as Yajaman
- The yearly celebration of Deepavali

This has energised the people of Ayodhya so much. They know there is a clear way forward. No more sense of Dejection, despair, hopelessness.
I still cant come to terms that the previous governments and UP elite of the past abandoned such a Civilizational city.

But then - the past is past. Let it serve as a constant warning but no more as a pull-back to our ability to act.
Once the airport is ready, Ayodhya will be another Kashi.
Jai Shriram and Har Har Mahadev will be chanted together.

Kashi, Ayodhya and Prayag will be a circuit. Fly to any one of the cities and return from any of them. The sheer dream.
There is much more to Ayodhya than just the access, but that itself is so much excitement.
The Sacred experience of Ayodhya is no more an idea. Its real.
🙏🏼
