Ayodha is first among the seven Mukhti Kshetras. As per sthalapurana, Sriman narayana took out Ayodhya , an important of Srivaikunta and presented it to Swayambhu Manu, the eldest son of Brahma. Manu Chakravarthi brought this to Booloka and placed it on the southern bank of the river Sarayu. The original Ayodhya temple on which the Azhwars composed Divya Prabanda are not there today due to foreign invaders. There is an ammaji temple on the banks of the Sarayu river and a temple of Sri Ranganatha with a Sannidhi for Rama.

This Kshetra is about 5 kms from Faisabad station on the Mugulsarai - Lucknow route.
