Ram Ki Paidi (Ayodhya)

India / Uttar Pradesh / Ayodhya
 water, bathing ghat, tourist attraction
These are the bathing ghats constructed on the banks during the period between 1984-1985. There were enormous bathing ghats through out the banks of the holy river Sarayu and the ones at Nayaghat were immersed in the torrential rains and currents of the river water. Then the then chief minister and the Irrigation Minister of UP ordered to raise a Paidi here for the convenience of the enormous pilgrims who come over there to have a holy dip. Water in the Paidi is being taken from Sarayu by Motor Pumps.

The long plight of steps that goes in parallel lines to the river water serves as a good ground for the devotees to have their bathing and allied activities. Flood Works Division of the Irrigation Department, UP Government, is managing the repairing works of Paidi.

  • Why so much of hatred? It's the same almighty in different names who teaches us to love all and respect everyone's way of praying to him. Is it justified to worship him in one name and abusing him in another name? Sab ka Malik ek hi hay bhai; Unke Shri Ram nam par bhi jay ho, Rahim Ji nam par bhi jay ho.. Let us love one and all :-)
  • I don't understand why is it called RAM KI PAIDI, is there any historical significance.
  • @ Tej, it's just a name, it's a new construction you see.
