Ayodhya Airport Named after Maharshi Valmiki, Echoes Splendid Heritage of Ram Janmabhoomi

Ayodhya: The international airport in Ayodhya has been named after Maharshi Valmiki, the sage who authored the Ramayana. This airport named Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, will be inaugurated by PM Narendra Modi on Saturday.

It is built at a cost of Rs 1462.97 crore. It boasts state-of-the-art facilities along with the splendour of Ayodhya’s heritage.

The architecture and design of this airport are quite unique because it is inspired by the life of Lord Rama and is based on the ‘Nagara Style’.

The airport with all modern amenities has two distinct types of mural plaques in its decoration, namely Daivik and Khandika plaques. It also has a wall mural dedicated to Lord Hanuman.

From January 11, 2024, there will be three daily flights between Ahmedabad and Ayodhya.  On January 6, the first flight between Delhi and Ayodhya will take off.

The process of operating international flights from this airport will begin subsequently to connect Ayodhya with international destinations.
