Dashrath Mahal, located in the heart of the city, is believed to be the site of the original royal palace of King Dasharatha, where Lord Rama spent his childhood. The current structure is a temple complex that recreates the aura of a palace.
The entrance is grand, with colorful paintings and heavy wooden doors. Inside, the courtyard is vibrant with saffron-clad sadhus reciting scriptures. The main shrine depicts Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughan with their consorts.
It is a hub of activity during festivities like Ram Vivah and Deepotsav. The atmosphere is less frantic than Hanuman Garhi, allowing for a more relaxed exploration of the city's royal past.
A series of ghats on the riverfront, famous for its spectacular renovation and the Guinness World Record-breaking Deepotsav festivals.
The sacred site where Lord Rama is believed to have taken 'Jal Samadhi' (left his physical body) to return to his celestial abode, Vaikuntha.
The bustling entry point to the Saryu riverfront, featuring beautiful parks and the statue of Lord Rama. A hub for boat rides and evening leisure.
