Big B Buys Plot Near Ram Temple In Ayodhya

MUMBAI, (IANS) – Amitabh Bachchan has bought a piece of land around 10,000 sq. feet in Ayodhya, days before the Pran Pratishtha of the Lord Ram Temple there scheduled on January 22, officials said here on January 15.

The Bollywood legend has bought the plot in the holy pilgrim town at a cost of Rs 14.50 crore in an upcoming scheme of The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) Mumbai, which plans to build homes in what is termed as the ‘Global Spiritual Capital’.

The property is barely 15 minutes away from the Lord Ram Temple and 30 minutes from the new Shri Ram International Airport.

The 7-star-rated 51-acre mix-use posh complex is called ‘The Sarayu’, near the banks of the Sarayu River.

“I am looking forward to embarking on this journey with The House of Abhinandan Lodha for The Sarayu in Ayodhya, a city that holds a special place in my heart. The timeless spirituality and cultural richness of Ayodhya have forged an emotional connection that transcends geographical boundaries,” said Bachchan, 81.

“This is the start of a heartfelt journey into the soul of Ayodhya, where tradition and modernity seamlessly co-exist, creating an emotional tapestry that resonates with me deeply. I am looking forward to building my home in the global spiritual capital,” added Bachchan, who has his family tree roots in Uttar Pradesh and was born in Prayagraj (formerly Allahabad) and educated there.
