Description

Tour Details

Step into the Birthplace of the Sun Dynasty and the Epicentre of Indian Heritage

Ayodhya, situated gracefully on the banks of the holy Saryu River in Uttar Pradesh, is a city where history, mythology, and modern architectural brilliance converge. Known globally as the "Saket" or the birthplace of Lord Rama, Ayodhya is one of the seven most sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in India. Following the historic inauguration of the grand Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, the city has transformed into a world-class heritage destination, attracting international tourists seeking to witness the pinnacle of Nagara-style architecture and the living traditions of the Ramayana.

The heritage circuit of Ayodhya offers a journey through millennia. From the 10th-century fortress-temple of Hanuman Garhi to the intricate carvings of Kanak Bhawan, the city breathes an air of royal divinity. The riverfront, marked by the ancient Guptar Ghat and the vibrant Ram Ki Paidi, serves as a stage for the magnificent evening Saryu Aarti—a spectacle of light, sound, and devotion that rivals any spiritual ceremony in the world. For the international traveler, Ayodhya is not just a pilgrimage; it is a profound exploration of India's cultural soul.

To fully appreciate the grandeur of the new temples and the historical sites, we recommend visitors plan their day around the rhythmic temple schedules and the cooling breezes of the Saryu River during the sunset hours.
