FAQs
How far is Sri Janaki Mahal Trust from Saryu Ghat (Ram Ki Paidi)?
Sri Janaki Mahal Trust is at Vasudev Gath, Karsewakpuram, Ayodhya. Saryu Ghat (Ram Ki Paidi) is a short distance from the trust — reachable by a brief auto-rickshaw or e-rickshaw ride, or by a comfortable walk for pilgrims who enjoy the route through Ayodhya's pilgrimage zone. During Deepotsav, when millions of diyas are lit at the ghat, guests of the trust have easy access to the viewing area.
What is the significance of Saryu Ghat and Ram Ki Paidi?
Saryu Ghat and Ram Ki Paidi are the sacred bathing ghats on the banks of the Sarayu River in Ayodhya. Ram Ki Paidi (literally, Ram's steps) is where devotees take a holy dip before darshan at Ram Mandir. The evening Saryu Ghat aarti — similar to the Ganga aarti in Varanasi — is one of Ayodhya's most beautiful spiritual experiences.
Can I watch the Deepotsav diya lighting at Saryu Ghat from Sri Janaki Mahal Trust?
Yes. Deepotsav — Ayodhya's world-record diya lighting event on Diwali — takes place at Ram Ki Paidi and Saryu Ghat. Guests of Sri Janaki Mahal Trust can access the Saryu Ghat viewing areas for Deepotsav. We strongly recommend advance booking for Deepotsav as all accommodation near Ram Mandir and Saryu fills months in advance.
What is the Saryu Ghat aarti and when does it happen?
The Saryu Ghat evening aarti takes place daily — typically starting around sunset (6:30–7:30 PM, varying by season). Priests perform the aarti with diyas on the river steps while bhajans and conch shells fill the air. It is a profound experience, particularly moving during festival seasons.
Is it safe to take a dip in Saryu River?
Pilgrims have bathed in the Saryu River at Ram Ki Paidi for centuries. The ghats are maintained by the Ayodhya Development Authority. For elderly pilgrims or those with health concerns, standing at the ghat and touching the sacred water is equally meaningful. Our staff can advise on the best and safest steps at the ghat.
