After the Ram Mandir, Ayodhya will soon have its own theme park `Ram Land’ – built on the pattern of California’s Disneyland. It will highlight the episodes of Ramayana, as well as spread the ideals and virtues of Lord Rama.
Situated on the banks of holy river Sarayu, Ayodhya is also known as Saket, an ancient city of India, the birthplace of Shri Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It has the great settings of the epic Ramayana, making it the most important pilgrimage site.
As reported by www.news18.com , Mukesh Meshram, Uttar Pradesh’s Principal Secretary said, “In spiritual city Ayodhya we always wanted to come up with something that caters to people of all age groups. Theme parks were the most viable solution. The move is not only expected to be a major attraction among the tourists but will also make Ayodhya a global tourism hotspot.”
Named as Ayodhya Imaginative, it will get ready by next year. It will be equipped with amenities of all sorts. Other than ultra-modern modes of entertainment and joy rides, it will have a dedicated section meant to cater to religious tourism.
This would be an infotainment section where the tourists will be made aware of the tales of Lord Rama. It will also make the present generation aware of the moral values of Lord Rama.
