It's a Temple of south Indian Architecture. • Other wise lot of Dharmasalas available there. I tried to take a room in Janaki Bhawan trust .it's Bed & cot. • They are providing food/Prasadam for Yatris at a nominal cost. There is a Perumal sannidhi there in that complex. The bakhtas sing songs in praise of Bagwan Ramji. •[blue] what are all the places to have dharshan there..? [/blue] • First have a holy dip in[blue]Sarayu Nadhi( pleasant experience). Take bath at Juhan ghat near Ammaji Mandhir [/blue] . It's almost not crowded because lot of yatris goes to the ghat near Bus /Road Bridge. • Next go to the [blue]Ram Janma bhumi to haveRamlala's Dharshan. [/blue] You may also have dharshan of Janaki Mahal, Valmiki bhawan, & char dham mandhir. The city is full of Temples. I love to have the Dharshan of [blue]Darpasayana Perumal & sri Ranganathar At Ammaji Mandir[/blue].Namma oor Perumal.( south Indian type Mandir) .. •[blue] what are all the things needed there..? [/blue] • Plenty of mosquito repellent , batteries, Torch light, snacks like cashew nut, Raisin( Beware of my friends[]-Monkeys .plenty of them loitering here & there at Ayodhya) some pain balms –one has to walk minimum One Km per side for RamLalas dharshan that's y pain balm is needed. & coffee powder. • No coffee is available in both Nymisharanyam & Ayodhya. Take Bru instant which is close to taste like our athhu(home) filter coffee [] • My parents always says that one has to stay at least one night at each Kshetram that's y I've taken all these stuff with us during my pilgrimage trip weather its to Badrinath or Puri jagannath /Brindavan. Always be prepared for every thing when u r in UP(Esp to tackle)prolonged power failure. • [blue]when its ok to visit ? [/blue] • whether its Naimisharanyam or Ayodhya or Triveni or Banaras late July & August is Best suited • (In Banaras Ganga/ganges flows as [blue]UTTRAVAHINI[/blue]- flowing towards north at Kasi/ Banaras Taking holy dip there is considered auspicious & have the [blue]Dharshan of Bindu Madawan . [/blue]I'm not saying any thing about other deities .its left to one's wish to have dharshan of them) • One can also contact:- [blue] Mrs. Lakshmi Narasimhan at Naimisharanyam thru' this Phone no.09936040748 [/blue] who can arrange some vehicle to pick up from Lucknow(LKO) for Naimisharanyam . & can also arrange vehicle ( & other necessary things like place to stay at Ayodhya)for Ayodhya Trip ( Ayodhya is located approximately 240kms from Naimisharanyam via-Lucknow) from Naimisharanyam itself....!!!
