Kanak Bhavan
Kanak Bhawan which means the “Golden Temple’ is situated to the
north-east of Ram Janam Bhumi Templw.. It is one of the finest and famous
temples in Ayodhya. Every pilgrim visits this Temple while in Ayodhya. It is
believed that this Bhawan was gifted to Sita Ji by Kaikei after her marriage..
This is private palace of Sita Ji and Rama. According to the mythology, after the original Kanak Bhawan was damaged,
it was rebuilt by Krishna himself in the Dvapar Yuga. Vikramaditya got it renovated. Later it was renovated by Vrish Bhanu
Kunwari.in 1891. The architecture of
this temple resembles the palaces of Rajasthan and Bundelkhand.
There are three pairs of idols here and all three are
of Ram and Sita. The largest statue was installed by Maharani
Vrishabhan Kunwari. It is believed that she was the main person behind the
re-construction and establishment of the present temple. A statue of somewhat
lower height is installed on the right side of this pair by King Vikramaditya.
This idol was kept safe by him when this ancient temple was attacked. The third
and the smallest pair is said to have been gifted by Shri Krishna to
a female devotee who was worshiping Rama at this place.
