AYODHYA visit

 A few days back, Ayodhya got added to my 'been there' list, as I thought it worth my while to take  two & a half hour  drive from Lucknow, where I am putting these days. Reaching Ayodhya, saw self styled guides  with smeared  forehead and face chasing us on scooter offering to facilitate our darshan of Hanuman Garhi, Sita Rasoi and Ram Mandir for an amount ranging between ₹200  & ₹ 400. Not taken in by the offer, we parked the vehicle, took a three wheeler and reached Hanuman Garhi. The large crowd of people lined up haphazardly  to have darshan, simply put us off and we bowed our heads in reverance from a distance. In coming days Ayodhya will be witness to yet another mega event  signalling Pran Pratishtha at the Ram Mandir.
