Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Ayodhya marked a historic moment in the city’s trajectory, as he inaugurated big projects totaling a huge amount of ₹11,100 crore. The vibrant city, steeped in cultural and religious significance, welcomed the Prime Minister with open arms as he unveiled key infrastructure initiatives, announcing a new era of progress and connectivity.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the newly built Ayodhya airport
At the heart of this momentous occasion was the inauguration of the Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, a central gateway set to transform the region’s connectivity. Named after the revered sage-poet Maharishi Valmiki, the airport’s significance goes beyond its function; its terminal, sprawling across 6500 sq m, not only promises to serve around 10 lakh passengers annually but also stands as a testament to architectural finesse. Adorned with local art, paintings, and murals vividly portraying the life of Lord Ram, the terminal radiates the essence of Ayodhya’s rich heritage.

But the airport was just one big part of PM Modi’s visit to Ayodhya. The inauguration of the Ayodhya Dham Junction Railway Station further emphasized the government’s commitment to improving the city’s infrastructure. The redevelopment of this station witnessed the launch of two Amrit Bharat and six Vande Bharat Express Trains, marking a significant leap in enhancing rail connectivity in the region. As PM Modi flagged off these trains, the event marked a crucial step towards efficient travel options for locals and visitors.
Moreover, the Prime Minister’s visit was not limited to inaugurations; it was a testament to a comprehensive plan to facilitate easy access to Ayodhya’s Shri Ram Mandir. The four newly redeveloped roads—Rampath, Bhaktipath, Dharampath, and Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Path—highlighted the government’s dedication to improving accessibility to the temple. These initiatives, with their redeveloped infrastructure, promise not just ease of travel but also showcase a commitment to preserving Ayodhya’s sanctity
The roadshow by PM Modi served as a vibrant display of solidarity and enthusiasm among the attendees. His gesture of stepping out of his vehicle, waving, and connecting with the people showed that the leader understands and cares about what the people feel and dream about
Beyond the infrastructural feats, PM Modi’s address at a public meeting showed a vision beyond bricks and mortar. It reflected a promise of growth, development, and prosperity for Ayodhya—a city steeped in cultural and religious significance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged devotees of Lord Ram nationwide not to rush to Ayodhya for the grand consecration ceremony of the Ram Mandir on January 22. While speaking to the crowd in Ayodhya, PM Modi said, “I have a request for everyone. Many wish to join the event on January 22, but not everyone can come. So, I urge all devotees of Lord Ram to visit Ayodhya at their convenience after the formal program concludes on January 22
This historic visit not only unveiled physical structures but also symbolized a larger narrative—a narrative of progress, inclusivity, and the confluence of tradition with modernity. The combination of cultural heritage with cutting-edge infrastructure stands as a testament to India’s stride towards a brighter and more connected future.
