AYODHYA
The Earthly August Seat of Dharma

ANTIQUITY

Manu, the far-famed law-giver is the founder builder of this holy city - Ayodhya, who left behind a long succession of illustrious yugapurushas renowned for their immortal deeds, and super human felts that' gods descended again and again, both to soliciting their assistance in the wars against demons, and shower encomiums on performing mahayagnas, in addition to seeing them adorning Bharatamata with priceless jewels, culminating in 'Sri Rama's presentation of an invaluable diadem with his matchless, ideal reign, Rama Rajya that became a byword for righteous' rule, a second of which cannot exist in any point of time. Hence became an ardent yearning for every ruler, but proved a mirage. Sri Rama the darling of the nation, rather mankind was the 65th descendant of Manu, ruling the entire Bharatha Khanda, from Himalaya to cape. He was the rightful successor to a galaxy of celebrated Samrats of Solar dynasty, starting from the venerable patriach, Manu himself.

Among the succession of luminaries that brought undying fame to the whole world, Puranjaya, Bhagiratha, Mandhata, Dilipa, Harischandra, Ambarisha, Raghu and Dasaratha deserve special mention for their meritorious roles played during their golden days.
