Champat Rai, the General Secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, revealed that the temple received over ₹363 crore in donations in the past year. Devotees also offered 20 kilograms of gold and 13 quintals of silver. Remarkably, ₹53 crore of the total donations were contributed directly at the temple counters.

Ayodhya's Modernization: Solar Energy and Infrastructure

Ayodhya's infrastructure has undergone a significant overhaul. Roads like Ram Path, Bhakti Path, and the newly designed railway station have enhanced the city's spiritual appeal. Additionally, a 20 MW solar power plant in Sarairasi village now illuminates the city's main routes with solar-powered LED lights.

The construction of the Ram Mandir has also led to a dramatic surge in Ayodhya's real estate market. Property prices have increased up to tenfold, driven by growing investor interest and numerous development projects.

With spiritual and economic growth hand in hand, Ayodhya continues its transformation into a vibrant religious and cultural destination.
