If any religious city has emerged as a role model in terms of religious tourism in the country, then it is definitely Ujjain. Ujjain has witnessed a big surge in tourism, particularly following the establishment of Mahakal Lok. It has become one of the most visited religious sites in the country. This surge in visitors challenges the notion held by some scholars regarding the employment opportunities created by temple construction. Mahakal Lok has positively impacted the economic health of Ujjain and its neighboring areas, ushering in new avenues for development and prosperity.
Therefore, now the work of expansion of Mahakal Lok is going on rapidly here. Ujjain is also set to be completely transformed before Simhastha 2028. All departments have started working here at a fast pace.
One year of Chief Minister Dr. Yadav’s tenure has been completed. During this period, the work of developing different Loks in the state is going on at a fast pace. On one hand, Devi Lok in Salkanpur has been developed as a Shakti temple site, on the other hand, Shri Hanuman Lok is being developed in Chhindwara.
Besides, preparations are on to build Ramraja Lok in Orchha. Work on Sant Ravidas Lok has started in Sagar.
On the other hand, historical places like Rani Durgavati Memorial and Rani Avantibai Memorial in Jabalpur are also being developed. Apart from this, new spiritual places like Maa Narmada Mahalok in Amarkantak, Devi Ahilyabai Lok in Khargone, Nagalwadi Lok in Barwani district are being developed. There are plans to develop Jam Sawani Hanuman Lok in Gwalior and Parshuram Lok in Janapav which is known as the birthplace of Lord Parshuram.
Maa Pitambara Lok in Datia and Mata Mandir Lok in Ratangarh will be dedicated to Goddess Durga. After the development of these Loks, Madhya Pradesh can also become the biggest religious tourist destination of the country. The government is going to spend more than Rs 2200 crore to promote religious tourism in the state.
