Frequently Asked Question

Which festivals are celebrated at Kanak Bhawan?

Kanak Bhawan comes alive during several Hindu festivals across the year, and each occasion transforms the temple into a site of extraordinary devotion and celebration.

Ram Navami (March–April) is the biggest festival here — it marks Lord Rama’s birthday and draws hundreds of thousands of devotees to Ayodhya. The temple is decorated with flowers, and special bhajans and kirtans continue through the night. The queues for darshan can stretch for hours, so arrive by 5:30–6:00 AM if you want a manageable wait.

Vivah Panchami (November–December) celebrates the divine marriage of Ram and Sita. Kanak Bhawan, being one of the most important Sita temples in Ayodhya, holds a central place in the celebrations. Special shringar (adornment) of the idols is done with silk garments and gold ornaments, and the entire temple glows with lamps.

Diwali is celebrated with oil lamps lighting every corner of the temple complex, mirroring the welcome given to Lord Rama on his return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.

Vijaya Dashami (Dussehra) and Navaratri also draw large gatherings. During Navaratri, the temple hosts daily recitations from the Ramcharitmanas.

If you plan to visit during any of these festivals, book accommodation in Ayodhya well in advance — the town fills up quickly, and hotels near Ram Janmabhoomi and Kanak Bhawan are the first to go.
