Sites to visit

1. Saryu river
   
   The Saryu River is a sacred river in Ayodhya, considered the lifeline of the city and deeply significant in Hindu scriptures like the Ramayana. It is a vital part of Ayodhya’s identity, flowing through the city and serving as the site for numerous holy ghats, such as Ram Ki Paidi, where pilgrims bathe. The river originates in the Himalayas and flows into Uttar Pradesh, where it merges with the Ghaghara, and is also known as the Sarju River. 
   
   
   
2. Nageshwarnath Mandir
   
   Nestled in the hallowed grounds of Ram ki Paidi, this revered temple traces its legendary origins to Kush, the younger son of Lord Rama himself. Upon losing his precious armlet in the river’s depths, Kush was aided by Naag-Kanya, a devoted serpent-maiden, in miraculously retrieving it. In eternal gratitude, he is believed to have constructed this sacred edifice as an offering to the great Lord Shiva, whose lingam form resides within the sanctum sanctorum.
