Ayodhya is situated on the banks of the Saryu river
in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. The Brahamanda Purana dentifies
Ayodhya as the premier amongst the six holy cities for the Hindus.
The other five are Mathura, Haridwar, Kashi, Kanchi, and Ujjain.
These holy cities are places of pilgrimage from where the Hindus
seek inspiration of their great civilisation and culture. Visits
to these places also assure them of Moksha or Nirvana.
