A major location within Ayodhya Dham where important pastimes or historical events occurred. Key Places represent clusters of leelas or thematic zones — each with a distinct spiritual identity or mood.
The Divine Riverfront
The Saryu riverfront from Swargdwar to Guptar Ghat is among the holiest stretches of any river in India. Chandrahari and Nageshwarnath temples stand at Swargdwar. Sahasradhara is where Lakshman assumed Shesha form. At Guptar Ghat, Ayodhya's citizens entered Saryu for Vaikuntha. Nirmali Kund is so pure that Teerth-raj Prayag bathes here daily.
