Mythological & Spiritual Significance of Ayodhya
Ayodhya’s story is deeply woven into Indian mythology and devotion. According to the Ramayana, Ayodhya was the capital of the Kosala kingdom and the birthplace of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu. The city witnessed Rama’s birth, exile, and triumphant return with Sita after defeating Ravana—an event celebrated even today as Diwali, the festival of lights.
Ayodhya is revered as one of the Sapta Puri—the seven most sacred cities in Hinduism—where pilgrimage is believed to grant moksha (liberation). Saints like Goswami Tulsidas, who composed the Ramcharitmanas, glorified Ayodhya’s spiritual greatness, making it an eternal center of devotion.
Beyond Hinduism, Ayodhya also holds importance in Jain tradition, as it is believed to be the birthplace of several Jain Tirthankaras, including Rishabhanatha, Ajitanatha, Abhinandananatha, and Sumatinatha, making it a revered Jain pilgrimage site as well.

According to Hindu mythology, the Saryu River holds immense sacred significance as it is believed that Lord Shri Ram took Jal Samadhi in its holy waters after completing his divine mission on earth. Bathing in the Saryu River is considered highly auspicious, as devotees believe it helps wash away sins, purify the soul, and bring spiritual liberation (moksha). A holy dip in the Saryu is also said to bestow inner peace and divine blessings, making it an essential spiritual ritual for pilgrims visiting Ayodhya.
After the aarti, return to your hotel for a peaceful overnight stay in Ayodhya.
