Janaki Mahal or Janki Mahal - Correct Spelling

Many visitors search for "Janaki Mahal" or "Janki Mahal" when looking for accommodation near Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. Both spellings refer to the same dharmshala: Sri Janaki Mahal Trust (also written as Shri Janaki Mahal Trust or Shri Janki Mahal Trust). This guide clarifies the correct name, why both spellings exist, and how to book with confidence.

Are Janaki Mahal and Janki Mahal the Same?

Yes. Janaki Mahal and Janki Mahal are two spellings of the same name. "Janaki" is the full form (from Janaki, another name for Goddess Sita); "Janki" is a common shortened or alternate spelling. The official trust that runs the dharmshala uses both forms in practice. There is only one organisation: Sri Janaki Mahal Trust, at Vasudev Gath, Karsewakpuram, Ayodhya.

When you call +91 8569816612 or visit https://www.shrijanakimahaltrustofficial.com, you are contacting the same trust whether you searched for "Janaki Mahal" or "Janki Mahal."

What Is the "Correct" Spelling?

The preferred formal name used by the trust is Sri Janaki Mahal Trust. In official communications and on the website you will see "Janaki" more often. "Janki" is widely used in Hindi and in everyday speech and writing, and both are accepted. For booking and verification, what matters is that you use the official contact details, not the exact spelling:

• Website: https://www.shrijanakimahaltrustofficial.com
• Phone / WhatsApp: +91 8569816612
• Email: srijanakimahaltrustofficial@gmail.com
• Address: Vasudev Gath, Karsewakpuram, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh 224123

Why Two Spellings Exist

• Janaki: Closer to the Sanskrit-derived form (Janaki, daughter of King Janak).
• Janki: Common in Hindi and regional usage; same pronunciation in practice.

Both are correct; neither is wrong. The trust is used to both spellings and responds to inquiries whether you say "Janaki Mahal" or "Janki Mahal."
