Boost In Businesses, Lord Ram Helping Lead Better Lives: Ayodhya Residents

Since the consecration ceremony on January 22, almost one lakh devotees have been visiting this Hindu holy town in Uttar Pradesh on a daily basis, according to the local administration. A huge number of these devotees come from outside the state.

Deepak Pandey, a daily wager in Ayodhya, was planning to move to another city searching for a job a few years ago. He now plans to buy land in this Uttar Pradesh district and build a new home.

Mr Pandey lauds Lord Ram for the change in his financial situation that has been boosted further following the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple here last month.

The 48-year-old lives in a three-room house in one of the alleys leading up to Ram Path, the main route for the devotees visiting the temple.
