This city has a large number of ghats, temples, and historical monuments and buildings.

It is believed that Ayodhya (Awadhpuri) is the first of the seven pilgrimage sites of Saptapuri for Hindus.

The name Ayodhya is well famous because of the dispute of Ram Mandir vs Babari Masjid. The temple marked as a birthplace of Lord Rama was demolished by the Mugal emperor Babar and a disputed mosque was constructed in that place.

Now, this part of the land is given to Ram JanmaBhoomi Trust by the court. And another piece of land was given to the Sunni Waqf Board to build the mosque.

As oncoming 05 August 2020, there is Bhumi Pujan to rebuild grand Ram Temple at the site of his birthplace. Ayodhya city after magnificent Ram Mandir is going to be major pilgrims and tourist destinations.
