Ayodhya has been the focus of various archaeological excavations. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) conducted excavations in and around Ayodhya, unearthing ancient structures and artifacts.
A place known as "Sita ki Rasoi" is believed to be the spot where Sita, the wife of Lord Rama, cooked meals during her time in Ayodhya. It's a small kitchen-like structure, and according to local legends, the rocks in this area are believed to have been turned into food by Sita's divine touch.
Treta Ke Thakur is a temple in Ayodhya that is dedicated to Lord Rama. It is believed to be one of the oldest temples in the city and is associated with the Treta Yuga, the era in which the events of the Ramayana are said to have taken place.
While Ayodhya is primarily associated with the worship of Lord Rama, the city also houses the Nageshwarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva. This temple is considered one of the oldest in Ayodhya and has its own historical and cultural significance.
Hanuman Garhi is a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, situated atop a mound in Ayodhya. One unique aspect is that the temple is fortified and is approached by a flight of 76 steps. The temple complex also includes shrines dedicated to Lord Rama and Lord Shiva.
