Recent data shows that post-COVID religious inclinations of Indians have become stronger, resulting in an accelerated momentum towards religious tourism.
According to the Ministry of Tourism data, last year, 8.5 crore tourists visited Varanasi (Kashi), around 4.5 crore people visited Prayagraj and more than 1.5 crore people have visited the Ayodhya Ram temple since the consecration ceremony. Many experts feel Varanasi will outdo Goa, Agra, and Shimla."
The government of Uttar Pradesh is promoting the new golden triangle of Prayagraj, Kashi and Ayodhya as a golden triangle of religious tourism. (ANI)
