Kashi Vishwanath Corridor

As per reports, the tourist footfall expected in Ayodhya by 2051 is a staggering three lakh people per day. Yearly tourist footfall is expected to rise to 8-10 crore after the Ram Mandir opens to devotees.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Kashi Vishwanath Dham corridor on 13th December 2021, and since then, the number of devotees of Mahadev has increased manifold.

Varanasi has seen eight times the number of tourists as Goa in 2022, according to data shared by ICICI Direct

Within a year of the inauguration of the Kashi Vishwanath Dham corridor, the iconic temple saw a record-breaking five-fold increase in donations from devotees

An anonymous donor had donated 60 kgs of gold to the Kashi Vishwanath temple months before the inauguration of the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in December 2021.

Ajay Mishra in his report has submitted that the survey was done by him on May 6 and May 7 and the Muslim side had gathered a mob of over 100 people during the survey to hinder their work.

With the placement of the Shivlinga in the centre, the plan of the old temple seems to be a one-of-a-kind arrangement for a Hindu temple; while the conventional design demands a linear progression of activities planned from Mandapa to the Garbhagriha.

The team surveyed the security cover of over 1,500 security personnel. The survey and videography work was performed without any hindrance.

Eyewitnesses said there are Hindu symbols carved all over the walls and pillars of the disputed Gyanvapi structure.
