About Ayodhya
Ayodhya, the sacred birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, is one of the holiest pilgrimage destinations in India and one of the revered Sapta Puri (Seven Sacred Cities) in Hinduism. Located on the banks of the holy Saryu River in Uttar Pradesh, Ayodhya has been a centre of faith, devotion, and spiritual learning for thousands of years. According to the Ramayana, it was the capital of the ancient Kosala Kingdom ruled by King Dasharatha and the birthplace of Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram.
Today, Ayodhya attracts millions of devotees from across the world, especially after the inauguration of the magnificent Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. Beyond the grand temple, the city is home to numerous ancient shrines, sacred ghats, monasteries, and historical sites connected to the life of Lord Ram, Mata Sita, Lakshman, Bharat, and Hanuman.
From the divine Saryu Aarti and Ram Ki Paidi to Hanuman Garhi and Kanak Bhawan, every corner of Ayodhya reflects centuries of devotion and rich cultural heritage. Whether you are seeking spiritual blessings, exploring Ramayana heritage, or experiencing India’s living traditions, Ayodhya offers a deeply enriching pilgrimage.
