Travel guide

About Ayodhya

The birthplace of Lord Ram on the Saryu river has been transformed by the new Ram Mandir, opened in January 2024, along with a new airport, railway station and riverfront.

Beyond the main temple, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan, Dashrath Mahal and the evening aarti at Ram ki Paidi make it a full and moving two days.

Best time
October to March. Deepotsav on Diwali eve lights the ghats with lakhs of diyas; Ram Navami (March–April) is very crowded.
Ideal trip
2–3 days
Getting there
Fly into Ayodhya (Maharishi Valmiki International Airport) or Lucknow (about 135 km). Ayodhya Dham Junction has direct trains from Delhi.

Mobile phones, bags and electronics are not allowed inside the Ram Mandir; free lockers are provided. Dress modestly.
