It serves as a holy site of worship for the famed Hindu deities Lord Rama and Goddess Sita. The name of the temple, “Kanak Bhawan,” which means “Golden House” in English, is appropriate given its magnificent architectural splendour and the air of divinity it emanates.
The Ramayana epic is connected with the history of Kanak Bhawan, which spans many centuries. One of King Dasharatha’s wives and Lord Rama’s stepmother, Queen Kaikeyi, is thought to have built the first Kanak Bhawan.
