Ayodhya: In Ayodhya, a unique experience awaits devotees and tourists with the establishment of the Durlabh Darshan Kendra at Raj Dwar Park near Hanuman Garhi. This center presents Shri Ram’s 14-year exile story in a captivating 9-minute 3D video, showcasing the Ram Vanagaman Marg with advanced 3D effects and a 360-degree rotating movie. Created by the Ayodhya Development Authority and Tech XR Innovations, the center offers immersive audio-visual storytelling, bringing to life significant locations like Tamsa River, Bharat Milap, Panchavati, and the Surya Tilak in Lanka.
As visitors don headphones and witness the powerful visual journey, enthusiasm has surged, and plans are underway to establish more such centers across Ayodhya. Virtual reality darshan will soon cover 18 key pilgrimage sites, including Ram Janmabhoomi Temple and Kanak Bhawan, enriching the spiritual experience for those both in India and abroad. Currently free, a nominal fee will be introduced in the future, generating additional revenue for tourism development.
