FAQs

What are the must-visit temples in Ayodhya?

Must-visit sites: (1) Ram Mandir (Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple) — the newly built grand temple, (2) Hanuman Garhi — the 76-step hillock temple with famous Hanuman idol, (3) Kanak Bhavan — the gold-domed temple with Ram and Sita idols gifted to Sita by Kaikeyi, (4) Ram Ki Paidi and Saryu Ghat — sacred riverside ghats for evening aarti, (5) Nageshwarnath Temple — one of the oldest temples in Ayodhya.

What is the best time to visit Ayodhya?

October to March is the most comfortable period for pilgrimage — pleasant weather, shorter queues on non-festival days. Festivals bring massive crowds: Ram Navami (March/April), Navratri (Sept/Oct), and Deepotsav/Diwali (Oct/Nov) are special but require booking 2–3 months in advance.

How early should I arrive for Ram Mandir darshan?

Arrive before 7 AM for morning darshan — queues are shorter. During non-festival weekdays, darshan can take 1–2 hours. On weekends and festival days, expect 3–6 hours. Early morning also catches the Mangal Aarti and offers the most peaceful atmosphere.
