The Story behind it’s Existence
Ayodhya, the birthplace of Shri Ram, sees a lot of visitors year-round. With numerous temples, ghats, and historical sites, the increasing crowds lead to issues like congestion, especially during festivals. Ram Katha Park was created to relieve pressure on these sacred spots and the city's centre.
