Ram ki Paidi

Ram ki Paidi is a series of ghats on the bank of River Saryu in Ayodhya in Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. A large number of pilgrims visit every day to take a sacred bath in holy Saryu waters . The river front brings forth an majestic landscape specially in floodlit night.

Ram ki Pakdi, as seen at night during Diwali celebrations in Ayodhya people can be seen lighting diyas on the ghat.

There were enormous bathing ghats through out the banks of the holy river Sarayu and the ones at Nayaghat were immersed in the heavy rains and floods. These were rebuilt in 1985.

On occasion of Deepawali in 2019 Ayodhya created Guinness record by lighting 450,000 diyas on Ram ki Paidi.[1]
