The Uttar Pradesh government is currently in the process of building an impressive entrance gateway, the 'Tilak Pravesh Dwar', on the Panchkosi Parikrama marg in Ayodhya. The Rs 1.89 crore project, being executed by the Ayodhya Development Authority, is part of the state government's broader vision for the city.

Far beyond being a mere architectural structure, the Tilak Pravesh Dwar is envisioned as a powerful emblem of Ayodhya's rich spiritual heritage, religious grandeur, and cultural pride. Designed to offer a majestic and spiritually enriching entry to devotees undertaking the Panchkosi Parikrama, the gate will combine classical temple architecture with modern construction techniques, showcasing Ramayana-era elements, traditional craftsmanship, and religious symbolism.
The gateway is expected to elevate Ayodhya's image not only as a spiritual center but also as a vibrant hub of tourism and cultural beautification. The surroundings will be adorned with an impressive façade, intricate stone carvings, sculpted pillars, thematic lighting, and lush landscaping. Officials are placing special focus on quality and aesthetics to ensure the Tilak Pravesh Dwar becomes a prominent landmark and attraction for visitors.
