Ranbir Kapoor, an actor soon to embody Lord Rama, has acquired a plot of land measuring 2,134 square feet within The Sarayu project in Ayodhya. The transaction, valued at approximately ₹3.31 crore, was finalized directly with the developer, The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL). This acquisition marks Kapoor's latest real estate move in the temple town, positioning it as a "gateway to ensuring this becomes a part of my legacy for my family."
The purchase aligns with a broader trend of increasing investment in Ayodhya, particularly within luxury-branded plotted developments. The Sarayu project itself is a 75-acre development situated along the banks of the Sarayu River, aiming to meld spiritual tourism with upscale real estate. This move comes ahead of Kapoor's highly anticipated portrayal of Lord Rama in a two-part film project.

The Sarayu project is being promoted as Ayodhya's inaugural branded plotted development, aiming to attract discerning buyers by combining spiritual significance with modern infrastructure and amenities. Developers highlight the city's ongoing transformation, bolstered by significant public investment in infrastructure such as roads, railways, and airport connectivity, further enhancing its appeal.
