Ayodhya

Ayodhya is an ancient city in India, considered sacred in Hinduism as the birthplace of Lord Rama, a major deity. It is located in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and features significant temples and cultural heritage. Ayodhya gained global attention due to the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, which centered on a disputed site believed to be Rama's birthplace, leading to communal tensions and a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2019 that authorized the construction of a temple. The city symbolizes religious significance and historical complexities, reflecting India's broader cultural narrative.
