Every devotees who visit the ram janambhoomi must visit the Ram Ki Paidi to take a holy dip, offer prayers, or just sit and enjoy the calm surroundings. If you’re visiting Ayodhya, whether for religious reasons or just to explore the city’s beauty, Ram Ki Paidi is a place you should not miss.
A Place of Faith and Calm
Ram Ki Paidi is a sacred place. It is believed that taking a dip in the Saryu River here washes away sins and brings peace to the soul. You’ll often see people lighting diyas (oil lamps), chanting quietly, or sitting near the water in prayer. During festivals like Ram Navami, Diwali, and Chhath Puja, the ghats light up with thousands of lamps, creating a magical sight.
What to Expect When You Visit
Ram Ki Paidi is not only beautiful—it feels deeply spiritual. In the early morning, the soft rays of the sun touch the water. In the evening, the sound of temple bells and the view of floating diyas fill the air with peace.
