AYODHYA
The Earthly August Seat of Dharma

KANAKA BHAVAN

This main Ramamandir is situated in the heart of the city. Its architectural beauty and serenity lift the souls of yatris at its imposing sight. The beautiful, white marble idols of Sri Rama, Sita and Lakshmana in standing posture installed on the gold plated Simhasan, with gold crowns in North Indian costume feast the eyes and transports the viewers to blissful world. The chanting of 'Ramnam' by groups of people sitting in the spacious hall sends thrills. The sthalagna insists on uttering Rama again and again, explaining that when the lips are parted to utter the first syllable 'RA', all the sins escape, and with 'MA', the lips are closed, thereby allowing not any sin enter into the mind of the chanter. It was once during the Dasarath's reign, the palace of Kaikeyi, Rama's step mother and she willingly gave away to Sita on entering it, first time after the marriage. The present temple built on the same site exudes divine beauty and exceptional charm.
