The history of the Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is a complex one, spanning centuries of religious devotion and conflict. It began as a temple dedicated to Lord Rama in the 11th century, but faced destruction and rebuilding during the Mughal era. The site has been the focus of a long-standing dispute between Hindu and Muslim communities, culminating in the Supreme Court of India’s 2019 decision to entrust the site exclusively to Hindus. The temple was consecrated on January 22, 2024, marking a significant moment for devotees.

Visit the Hanuman Garhi temple constructed by Vikramaditya. It is believed that Lord Hanuman (Pavan Putra) lived here to guard Ayodhya. You will find here a beautiful deity of Bal (young) sitting on lap of Maa Anjani at the main temple. In the story of Rama’s departure from Ayodhya, it is not explicitly stated that Sri Rama leaves Ayodhya in the care of Hanuman. However, after Rama’s coronation and return from exile, he grants Hanuman the boon of immortality to ensure the continued spread of righteousness and the protection of devotees, even when he is not physically present.  Sri Rama also tasks Hanumanji with spreading his name and helping those in need as it is by the remembrance of His name that man can attain salvation.
