Shri Janki Mahal Trust Ayodhya - Same as Sri Janaki Mahal?

Shri Janki Mahal Trust and Sri Janaki Mahal Trust - same organization. Spelling and name variants explained.

Shri Janki Mahal Trust Ayodhya - Same as Sri Janaki Mahal?

Yes. Shri Janki Mahal Trust, Sri Janaki Mahal Trust, and Sri Janki Mahal Trust all refer to the same organisation—the registered charitable trust that runs the dharmshala at Vasudev Gath, Karsewakpuram, Ayodhya. This guide explains the name variants so you can book with confidence and avoid confusion or scams.

Same Organisation, Different Spellings

The variations you see are:

  • Shri vs Sri – Both are honorifics; "Shri" and "Sri" are used interchangeably in India. The trust is the same whether the sign or website says "Shri" or "Sri."
  • Janaki vs Janki – "Janaki" is the longer form (from Janaki, another name for Goddess Sita); "Janki" is a common shortened spelling. Both refer to the same trust.
  • Janaki Mahal vs Janki Mahal – Same place. The dharmshala is named after Goddess Sita (Janaki/Janki); the building is the same.

So: Shri Janki Mahal Trust = Sri Janaki Mahal Trust = Sri Janki Mahal Trust. One organisation, one address, one contact.

Official Contact – Only One Number and Website

Always use these details to book or verify. Any other number or website claiming to represent "Shri Janki Mahal Trust" or "Sri Janaki Mahal Trust" in Ayodhya may be a scam. See contact number and official verification on the website. Book only via official booking. Read how to avoid scams and avoid fake bookings.

Why So Many Name Variants

  • Shri/Sri: Both spellings are correct and widely used in Hindi and English. The trust does not distinguish between them.
  • Janaki/Janki: "Janaki" is closer to the Sanskrit form; "Janki" is common in Hindi and everyday use. The trust accepts both.
  • Trust: Sometimes the name is written without "Trust" (e.g. "Sri Janaki Mahal"); it still refers to the same organisation.
  • Legacy and platforms: Different websites, signs, or citations may use different combinations. What matters is that the phone number, website, and address match the ones above.

Scams and Fake Listings
