Ram Temple: Business increased even before the inauguration, airports filled with private jets, gold plated idols finished

The living consecration of Ramlala has led to a massive surge in Ayodhya's commercial activity. Private planes are parked here at the airport in large numbers. In addition, local stores are out of gold-plated idols. They are in such high demand that not even local markets carry them.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Asia's wealthiest industrialist, Mukesh Ambani, are among the approximately 8,000 VVIPs expected to go to Ayodhya on Monday for the consecration of Ram Lalla. According to Rajan Mehra, CEO of Club One Air, an Indian luxury charter airline, receiving an invitation to an event has become a symbol of status. He has reserved all of his jets for flying to Ayodhya.

On January 22, 100 private aircraft are expected to land at Ayodhya airport, according to officials. It will be filled as a result. Jets are also anticipated to fill the Varanasi airport, which is approximately four hours' drive away from here. In addition, aircraft arrivals at Gorakhpur airport, which is three hours' drive from Ayodhya, have begun and will continue to grow.

According to experts, the cost of a Falcon 2000 return ticket carrying nine passengers from Mumbai to Gorakhpur might be approximately Rs 61 lakh. Club One Air, a premium charter provider, hasn't disclosed anything, though.
