Sita Rasoi – is one of two Sita kitchens in Ayodhya. This Rasoi shrine is in the basement and quite beautiful. It has on the floor three tiles patterned in green, white, and black also a concrete-block sitting place; a concrete-and-tile rolling board; and a molded-concrete rolling pin. Near the back wall is an oven (chulha), and above it is a shrine to Sita. The panda described the Janmasthana as the place where Rama was nurtured and spent most of his childhood, and he said that the kitchen was where Sita cooked her first meal for Rama’s father, Dasharatha.
