Beyond Ram Mandir: Hanumangarhi & Kanak Bhawan

Hanuman Garhi: The Protector's Shrine

Perched elegantly on a prominent hill within the heart of the city, Hanuman Garhi is the domain of Lord Hanuman. Traditional mythologies state that Lord Ram granted Hanuman this elevated residence so he could eternally guard and protect Ayodhya. You must ascend 76 beautifully carved steps to reach the main shrine, where you will find an exquisite idol of Mata Anjani holding the infant Hanuman. It is a widely accepted custom to seek permissions and blessings at Hanuman Garhi before proceeding to the main Ram temple.

Kanak Bhawan: The Golden Palace

Located a short walk away from Hanuman Garhi lies Kanak Bhawan. Gifted by Queen Kaikeyi to Mata Sita as a welcome present after her marriage to Lord Ram, this highly ornate temple is famous for its stunning architecture and melodious kirtans (devotional songs). The inner sanctorum houses incredibly beautiful, crown-adorned idols of Ram and Sita underneath a gorgeous silver roof. Planning a spiritual trip? Consider taking a direct Varanasi to Ayodhya Taxi.
