According to reports, after inaugurating the railway station, the Prime Minister will also oversee the preparations done in Ayodhya for the grand inauguration of Ram Mandir.

The railway station will comprise lifts, a tourist information centre, and medical facilities. All types of extensive preparations are being completed.

Refurbished platforms, new signboards, escalators, and murals of Lord Ram painted on walls -- these and many more would be the features of the Ayodhya railway station after the ongoing revamp.

The railway station is said to have as much mythological importance as much as it is modern. It is built like a grand temple from the outside and is equipped with equally modern facilities from the inside.

The distance between Ayodhya Railway Station to Ram Mandir is around 6km and therefore expected to witness heavy footfall once the temple is inaugurated. Also, Hanuman Garhi - a 10th-century Hindu temple - located in the Sai Nagar area of the city is just at a distance of 1.5 km from the junction.
