Like Varanasi, Ayodhya wakes up to Kachori Sabzi. However, the sabzi (curry) here often includes pumpkin (kaddu) along with potatoes, giving it a slight sweet-sour profile (khatta-meetha) mixed with the heat of chilies.
The kachoris are stuffed with urad dal and fennel spices. It is a heavy, satisfying meal that fuels the pilgrims for their temple walks. It is usually served on eco-friendly leaf plates.
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.
