This spike is part of a broader trend in sacred real estate driven by spiritual tourism. Amitabh Bachchan acquired a plot near the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. The rush for sacred real estate extends to Varanasi, Vrindavan, and other religious destinations, witnessing property booms. Spiritual tourism generated Rs 1.34 lakh crore in 2022, impacting places of worship.
