5 Koshi Parikrama
The 5 Koshi (15 km) Parikrama is the inner sacred circumambulation of Ayodhya. Starting from the Saryu banks near Ram Ki Paidi, the route winds through major temples, sacred kundas, and ghats before completing the circle. Lakhs of barefoot pilgrims complete this parikrama during the Kartik month (Oct–Nov), which is considered the most auspicious time. The route passes through Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan, Ram Janmabhoomi, and 12+ other sacred sites.
