Although Ayodhya is popularly referred to as the birthplace of Shri Ram, there is a particular spot in the city where he was born. The place is marked by a temple known as the Ram Janam Bhoomi. In the same complex as the Ram Janam Bhoomi temple, there was a mosque which was built by Babur in the 15th century. Since then, this place has been surrounded by controversies, but to protect everyone’s religious beliefs, the government took control of this area. On the north-western side of the temple, another important temple known as Sita ki Rasoi is located.

3. Hanuman Garhi

One of the most important temples in Ayodhya, Hanuman Garhi is a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman. The temple is located at a hilltop and one has to climb around 76 staircases to reach there to seek blessings from a 6-inch tall idol of hanuman. It is a popular belief that devotees must visit Hanuman Garhi before paying a visit to the lord ram temple.

4. Nageshwarnath Temple

The temple situated near the Ram ki Paidi is dedicated to Lord Shiva, Nageshwar Nath or the God of Snakes. The temple was built by Kush, lord ram’s younger son as a gesture of gratitude when Naag-Kanya, the daughter of a snake, found his armlet in the Saryu river and returned it to him. Nageshwarnath Temple is an architectural marvel that attracts people from across the country.

5. Treta ke Thakur

The temple opens on the eleventh day or the Ekadashi of the Hindu month of Kartik attracting devotees from different parts of the country.

6. Mani Parbat

Mani Parbat is a 65-feet high hillock of great mythological importance located in Ayodhya. According to the epic Ramayana, when Lakshman was wounded in the battle by Meghnad, the only medicine that could treat him was the Sanjeevani Booti.

The hillock houses numerous shrines and the view from the top is mesmerizing.

7. Dasrath Bhavan
