Ayodhya, situated on the banks of the Sarayu River, is one of Hinduism's holiest cities, believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama. Pilgrims visit to bathe in the sacred river and offer prayers at numerous temples, including the Ram Janmabhoomi site. The city's narrow lanes are lined with shops selling religious items, and the evening aarti at the river ghats is a deeply spiritual experience. Ayodhya's ancient heritage is palpable in its temples and ashrams, drawing devotees year-round.
