In a tribute to the ultimate sacrifice by her brothers, Purnima Kothari is presently serving devotees flocking Ayodhya to visit the newly built Ram Mandir.
It is reported that the contribution of the tourism sector to India's GDP in the next 10 years (2033) will be 443 billion dollars (about ₹ 37 lakh crore)
Shyamanand, the then-priest of the Ram temple, provided shelter for two Mughal fakirs Kazal Abbas Musa and Jalal Shah. These fakirs pretended to be influenced by Hinduism and began living in temple premises. They informed Babur about the temple's wealth and the immense faith Hindus had in Lord Ram.
"Mere lalla ne mujhe aadesh diya, maine follow kiya (Lord Ram gave me the order, and I just followed it)," Yogiraj said adding that “I had to ensure that the idol adheres to the Shilpa Shashtra, representing a five-year-old form of Lord Ram, capturing the innocence of a child.”
The construction of Ram Mandir has radically transformed the economic landscape of Ayodhya, turning a moribund backwater town into a melting pot of commercial and spiritual centre.
