Kanak Bhawan Temple in Ayodhya is is dedicated to lord Ram and his divine consort Goddess Sita. The magnificence of this place and the deities installed in the sanctum leave the devotees spell bound. Built more as a sprawling place rather than a shrine, the Kanak Bhawan Temple resembles the magnificent palaces of Bundelkhand and Rajasthan region of India. The history of the temple dates back to Treta Yug. According to local legends, Queen Kaikayi, Lord Rama's stepmother had gifted this palace to Goddess Sita, her newly arrived daughter-in-law and step son Rama. Later, a grand temple was built by the royal house of Orchha and Tikamgarh in the late 19th century.
