Dasrath Bhavan

Dasrath Bhavan is located in the very centre of the city of Ayodhya. It is believed to have been constructed at the same place where the original palace of the King, and the father of Lord Ram existed. Lord Ram along with his siblings spent their childhood and youth in this area. The Bhavan houses a shrine with the idols of Shri Ram, Lakshman and Sita. The temple can be reached through a big and colourful entrance. Visit the temple and you will be caught up in the religious fervour. Sadhus and saints wearing orange coloured clothes continue to recite the dohas and chuapais from the Ramayana and other scriptures accompanied by artists playing musical instruments. Although the Bhavan appears much smaller than its original counterpart where King Dasrath might have lived, it, nonetheless, attracts hordes of devotees who come here to see the place where Rama was born and spent his formative years.
