As soon as the Ram temple is finished, they are focusing on making it easy for people from different places to reach Ayodhya.
Now, Union Minister Anurag Thakur has started the first Aastha Special Train.
This special train journey went from Andaura Railway Station in Himachal Pradesh to Ayodhya Dham Railway Station.
Today, on February 5, 2024, the train left Andaura for Ayodhya, carrying devotees of Lord Ram.
During the event of sending off the first Aastha Special Train to Ayodhya, Union Minister Anurag Thakur mentioned that a new journey has begun from Andaura railway station in Una district.
It’s important to note that Andaura station is part of the Hamirpur Lok Sabha constituency.
Gave thanks to PM Modi
Anurag Thakur also mentioned, ‘After waiting for 500 years, many devotees of Lord Ram from all around the world are excited to visit the beautiful and special Ram temple in Ayodhya.
People are very enthusiastic to see Ram Lala, and everyone is eager to go to Ayodhya and see the child form of Lord Shri Ram with their own eyes.’
He also said thanks to PM Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav.
He shared, ‘To allow Lord Ram’s devotees from Devbhoomi Himachal to visit Ayodhya and see Ram Lalla, today he gave permission for the Aastha special train, carrying many devotees from Amb-Andaura railway station in his parliamentary constituency.
It was a special moment to guide and move towards Ayodhya Dham.
This is a significant event for Devbhoomi, and I am very thankful to respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav ji for providing such a big opportunity to Himachal Pradesh on this special day.
Our generation is lucky to witness the Ram Mandir movement and see the divine and grand Ram Mandir being constructed in Ayodhya.’

Aastha special train going from Andaura to Ayodhya Dham
A special train called Aastha is traveling from Andora to Ayodhya Dham.
It will pass through Una, Anantapur Sahib, and Ambala on the way to Ayodhya. Once it arrives in Ayodhya, devotees will get a chance to see Lord Ram Lala.
Let me share that back in December 2023, PM Narendra Modi opened Maharishi Valmiki International Airport and Ayodhya Railway Station in Ayodhya.
Airlines such as Indigo, Spice Jet, Akasa, and Air India Express now operate direct flights to Ayodhya from various cities across the country.
Moreover, there is a special train named Anand Vihar-Ayodhya Vande Bharat Express that has started its journey from the capital, Delhi, to Ayodhya.

For the Aastha special train, travelers need to pay Rs 1500 for the journey. The train also provides food for passengers.
It has 20 sleeper coaches, and each coach can accommodate 64 passengers. To board this train, you must register beforehand.
