Advance booking of hotels has started in Ramnagari for Deepotsav. There is a special attraction among Ram devotees across the country for the first Deepotsav after the consecration of Ramlala. Hoteliers hope that all their rooms will be full in the coming days. It is a different matter that now with the availability of a large number of hotels, guest houses and home stay options, guests coming from outside will not have to face any problems.
Deepotsav is the first occasion after the consecration of Ramlala in the Navya Temple, for which the hotel industry has kept pleasant expectations. This is also because tourists and devotees did not stay here as expected on Ram Navami and Dussehra festivals. Hoteliers are very excited with the advance booking trends they are receiving 10 days before the festival of lights. A large number of rooms are being booked by groups of devotees from different states to come to the festival of lights.
Hotel businessman Saurabh Kapoor says that advance booking is being done rapidly for Deepotsav. Since this is the first Deepotsav after the consecration of Ram Lalla, there is a possibility of more crowd than every other time. A lot of rooms in his hotel are also taken by the Culture and Tourism Department. Therefore rooms have been blocked for them also. The special thing is that bookings are already being made for Deepotsav on 29th and 30th. There is a lot of demand for rooms for the next day of Diwali also. These are those people who want to avoid restrictions and restrictions in traveling during the festival of lights due to security reasons.
70 percent rooms booked
Hotel and resort businessman Sangram Singh said that so far 70 percent of the rooms have been booked for 29th and 30th. Under tour packages, more bookings are being made in groups from other states. It is expected that in the coming days the remaining rooms will also be booked. According to hotelier Anoop Gupta, 60 percent of the rooms have been booked. There are chances of better business on Deepotsav as compared to Ram Navami and Dussehra. In comparison to the time of Pran Pratistha, the rates of hotel rooms have also reduced. Devotees are also relieved by this.
