Last week I had a holiday trip to Ayodhya with my family. Ayodhya is situated on the bank of the river Saryu. This is an ancient city of Uttar Pradesh. Ayodhya is a popular pilgrim centre. We stayed at Awadh Hotel, at Faizabad. From the hotel at about a distance of 6kms is Ayodhya.
Ayodhya is closely associated with Lord Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The city according to the epic Ramayana was founded by Manu, the law maker of the Hindus. The ancient name of Ayodhya was Kaushaldesa.
