1.) Ram Janmabhoomi

Considered sacred by devotees, Ram Janmabhoomi marks the place where Lord Ram was born. The tale goes that Ram, an embodiment of Lord Vishnu’s seventh avatar, developed alongside Ayodhya’s river Sarayu. A sacred location for Hindu followers, the Ram Janmabhoomi commands immense devotion.

Two kilometres separate Ayodhya’s city core, where Ram Janmabhoomi is located. Known alternately as the Faizabad Airport in Faizabad, the Ayodhya Airport is situated around 8 to 10 kilometres from the Ram Janmabhoomi. Within a quarter hour to an hour, one can reach this place through a short drive.

Located around 1.5 to 3 km from Ayodhya Railway Station, the destination can still be reached via a short trek of approximately 20 minutes. Of Ayodhya’s bus stations, the most prominent one is the Ayodhya Bus Station situated near Ram Katha Park. Measuring 1.7 to 2.5 kilometres apart from Ram Janmabhoomi, this bus stop exists. Bus stands can be found at Faizabad Cantonment and Rajkiya Uddyan Cantonment Road, alongside the Circuit House.

2.) Kanak Bhawan

Located inside Tulsi Nagar, near the northeastern corner of the Ram Janmabhoomi stands Kanak Bhawan. Built in 1891, the temple is commonly called Sone-ka-Ghar. A holy site, this is where Lord Rama and Goddess Sita are revered. Also known as Golden Palace, Kanak Bhwan highlights three gold-adorned statues protected by a silvery roof inside the inner sanctorum. Popular tradition holds that Kaikeyi gifting this shrine to Rama and Sita.

Under Vikramaditya’s leadership, the site received a complete overhaul, courtesy of VrishBhanu Kunwari’s meticulous design plans. Privately owned by the Sri Vrishbhan Dharma Setu Trust Private Limited, this Bundela-temple is currently being managed.

3.) Nageshwarnath Temple

With Lord Nageswanth at its core, the Nageshwarnath Temple resides next to the bustling Theri Marketplace within Ayodhyas limits. By Kush or Kusha, Lord Rama’s son, it is said that this was established. From 750 AD until now, the place remained properly cared for; but according to historical records, Navy Rai, serving under Safar Jung, completely overhauled the structure around 1750 CE. Myth has it that upon discovering Naga Kanya, who was deeply devoted to Shiva, Kush had lost his arm ring at a neighbourhood bathhouse.

Learning about her affection towards him, he constructed the Shiva temple as an act of devotion. A popular pilgrimage site in southern India, the Nageswara Temple sees large crowds during Mahashivaratri and Trayodasi. A major draw for visitors, the Shiva Barat celebration honours Lord Shiva.

4.) Hanuman Garhi

Dedicated to the Hindu deity Hanuman, the 10th-century Hanuman Garhi Temple is situated in Sai Nagar. Customarily, those interested in seeing Ayodhya begin their pilgrimage at Hanuman Garhi and then proceed to the Ram Temple. At the temple site where he watchfully protects Ayodhya, Lord Hanuman is said to live.

Seventy-six stairs form the route leading to the temple’s entry point, situated on a hill. Tucked away amidst the stunning scenery of the nearby mountainside lies a tiny statuette of Hanuman, mere inches high. With multiple statues of Lord Hanuman and his mother Maa Anjani, the main temple’s interior cave is quite impressive. Devotees come together at Hanuman Garih to mark the birth anniversaries of Lord Ramb and Lord Hanuman, drawing large crowds.

5.) Gulab Bari

Located in Vaidehi Nagar, the Garden of Roses goes by another name – the Gulab Bari. This monument honors the memory of Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula and his parent’s burial site, who were the third Nawabs of Faizabad (Oudh or Awdad). Encompassed by an abundance of roses, fountains, and thriving flora, the historic Gulab Bari boasts an impressive display of Nawab-inspired design from the 18th century. Under the auspices of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, Gulab Bari continues to thrive as an integral component of Indian culture.

6.) Treta Ke Thakur

Housing multiple icons, including depictions of Lord Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman, Bharat, and Sugreev, the Treta Ke Thakur Temple lies near Ayodhya’s Naya Ghat. Single blocks of black sandstone were used by ancient artists to create these statues according to legend. Legend has it that Treta Ke Thakur was erected around 300 years ago through the efforts of King Kullu.

Tradition has it that Lord Rama staged the illustrious Ashwamedha Yagna at this location. Renovated during the 1700s, the temple was overseen by Ahilyabai Holkar. On just one day throughout the year, Ekadashi marks when the place opens up to the general population. On the Hindu calendar, this day is commemorated on the eleventh day of the Shukla Paksha in October/November. A blend of vivid revelry and time-tested rituals define this special occasion.

7.) Sita Ki Rasoi

According to legend, Sita ki Rasoi was used by Goddess Sita during her stay near the Janma Honu in Ayodhya’s Rajkot region. Nearby the Ram Janmabhoomi, this holy place houses show objects. Sita’s name is shared by two kitchens; here resides one of them in the basement.

On the far side lie the extravagantly dressed idols of Hindu deities Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughan, alongside their spouses Sita, Urmila, Mandavi, and Srutakirti. Sita, anointed by the title Goddess Annapurna, enjoys divine worship as the Divinity of Nourishment. Offering free food, the temple sticks to this tradition. Any charitable contribution can be made here by visiting tourists.

8.) Choti Chawani

A majestic edifice made entirely of white marble, Choti Chawni goes by several names, including Maniramdas Chawni and Valmiki Bhawan, situated in Ayodhya. With such breathtaking charm, no words are needed; simply experience this place and let a single sigh convey your emotions.

It becomes clear when analysing this information that there are exactly 34 heritage caves in question here—with 12 found in the south, 17 in the middle (Hindu), and the final 5 up North (Jain). Cavernous structures receive extra layers via the inclusion of Kailasa Temple.

9.) Tulsi Samarak Bhawan

Founded to honour 16th-Century Saint Poet Goswami Tulsidas, who allegedly authored the epic Hindi poem “RamacharitaManas” here at the Tulsi Smarak Bhawan. At Raj Gang Crossing in Ayodhya, located along the eastern stretch of the National Highway, the Smarak was erected in 1969 during the tenure of Governor Sri Vishwanath Das. Alongside the impressive library containing a wealth of written material, the Smarak harbors a reputable research institution named the ‘Ayodhya Research Sansthan’.

Investigations into Ayodhya’s cultural heritage, literature, and spiritual traditions are conducted via scholarly inquiry. Alongside displaying Ramayana art and craft, the centre offers a daily rendition of Ramkatha. Celebrated with much flair and show, Tulsi Jayanti falls on every 7th of Shravan.

10.) Raja Mandir

Throughout history, Raja Mandir in Faizabad has been connected to different mythic narratives situated alongside river Ghaggar (Sarayu). Within the temple dwells an array of beautifully crafted statues, donned with lavish textiles and precious accessories, symbolising numerous Hindu Divinities. Exquisitely constructed and emblematic of Hindu architecture’s splendor, the edifice shines brightly.

Originally famous for being connected to Lord Sri Ram, this temple is currently inhabited by diverse idols and no longer carries that same special significance. Positioned so near to the riverbank, Raja Mandir offers breathtaking views of the temple reflecting off the water’s surface, providing an unparalleled visual treat.

Devout believers flock to this location annually, trusting that immersing themselves in the river’s holiness can wash away their moral shortcomings.

11.) Ram Katha Park

Located in Ayodhya, this lovely park, known as Ram Katha Park, showcases open-air amphitheatres and lush greenery. A large area of land hosts various activities including devotional programs, festivities, lectures, concerts, poetic expressions, and scriptural readings. Evening hours find Ram Katha Park transformed into either a kid-friendly playground or a serene oasis for grown-ups.

By fostering collaboration between artists from different countries, the institution promotes cultural exchange while nurturing artistic talent within and beyond national boundaries. Elegant by nature, the amphitheatre has emerged as an ideal retreat from the cluttered cityscape.

12.) Dashrath Bhawan

The home of King Dashrath, who ruled Ayodhya and was father to Lord Sri Ram, is Dashrath Bhavan. Bada Asthan or Badi Jagah, Dashrath Mahal boasts extraordinary shrines celebrating King Ram’s legacy. Said to have sheltered King Dasharath’s kingdom and the young Lord Rama during his growth stages, this lovely palace showcases a magnificently adorned entryway displaying elaborate designs. Chanting mantras, the monks inside the palace dance and sing in unison.While not as grandiose as a royal residence, Dashrath Bhavan remains popular among revellers throughout events such as Ram Vivah, Karthik Mela, Diwali, Ram Navami, and Shravan Mela.

13.) Mani Prabhat

At an altitude of roughly 65 feet, Mani Parbat is a minor peak situated in Kami Ganj area of Ayodhya. Not only does the Parbat provide a picturesque view but is also where you’ll find a stupa built by Emperor Ashoka and a Buddhist monastery. Nearby Sugriv Parbat, Mani Parbat contains various religious shrines. Mani Parbat’s base houses an Islamic mausoleum.

Ayodhya stands as a timeless testament to India’s rich cultural and religious heritage. This historic city, revered as the birthplace of Lord Rama, holds a special place in the hearts of millions of Hindus worldwide. Its landscape is dotted with temples, including the iconic Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, serving as a pilgrimage site and a symbol of devotion.

4. Nageshwarnath Temple

The temple situated near the Ram ki Paidi is dedicated to Lord Shiva, Nageshwar Nath or the God of Snakes.

Strikes at Heathrow Airport are taking place over the next few weeks, with the first one already under way.

Staff at the UK's biggest airport are set to walk out during the early bank holiday in May, with their union warning planes could be "delayed, disrupted and grounded".

The average price paid for comprehensive motor insurance rose 1% in the first quarter of the year, according to industry data indicating an easing in the steep rises seen last year.

The latest tracker issued by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) showed a 1% increase on the previous three months to £635.

That was despite the average claim paid rising 8% to reach a record of £4,800, the body said.

The ABI said the disparity showed that its members were "absorbing" additional costs and not passing them on.

Nevertheless, the average policy was still 33%, or £157, higher between January and March compared to the same period last year.

Getir , the grocery delivery app, has abandoned a European expansion that is set to result in the loss of around 1,500 jobs in the UK.

Sky News had previously revealed that the Turkey-based company, which means "to bring" in Turkish, had successfully raised money from investors to fund its withdrawals from the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.

It had already departed other countries including Italy and Spain.

The exits were prompted by growing losses linked to the company's rapid expansion.

Waitrose is launching an exclusive range of products with popular chef Yotam Ottolenghi today.

The Israeli-British chef is famous for his Middle Eastern and Mediterranean-inspired food, and has worked with the supermarket to release products including a pasta sauce, spice blend and shawarma marinade.

It is the first time Ottolenghi has partnered with a supermarket in such a way.

The full range will be available in Waitrose shops, Waitrose.com and Ottolenghi.co.uk from today, while a selection of products will be available from the supermarket on Deliveroo and Uber Eats.

An introductory 20% off offer is being launched until 18 June.

The range includes:

Ottolenghi Miso Pesto 165g (£4)
Ottolenghi Kalamata Olive & Harissa Sauce 350g (£4.50)
Ottolenghi Pomegranate, Rose & Preserved Lemon Harissa 170g (£5)
Ottolenghi Green Harissa 170g (£5)
Ottolenghi Aleppo & Other Chillies Blend (£3.95)
Ottolenghi Sweet & Smokey Blend (£3.95)
Ottolenghi Citrus & Spice Blend (£3.95)
Ottolenghi Red Chilli Sauce (£4.50)
Ottolenghi Shawarma Marinade (£4)

Ottolenghi said he had "always been super eager to get our flavours onto people's dinner plates nationwide, not just in London, without having to cook it from scratch every single time".

He added: "I hate to admit it but the pasta sauce already features heavily in my home kitchen, when no one is looking."

The cost of bread, biscuits and beer could increase this year due to the impact of the unusually wet autumn and winter on UK harvests.

Research suggests that production of wheat, oats, barley and oilseed rape could drop by four million tonnes (17.5%) compared with 2023.

The wet weather has resulted in lower levels of planting, while flooding and storms over winter caused farmers more losses.

The predictions come just as the rate of price increases on many food items begins to slow as inflation falls.

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) analysed forecasts from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHBD) and government yield data.

It found a "real risk" of beer, biscuits and bread becoming more expensive if the poor harvest increases costs for producers, according to its lead analyst Tom Lancaster.

Beer prices could be affected because the wet weather is still disrupting the planting of spring crops such as barley, the ECIU said.

And potatoes might also see a price hike in the coming months, with growers warning of a major shortage in the autumn due to persistent wet weather.

When I think about the toys of my childhood - my pink Barbie car, my Gameboy Micro, my collection of Pokemon cards - I can't tell you where they went.

Maybe they were shipped off to a charity shop at some point... Or perhaps they're in the attic?

While my hot pink Gameboy Micro is lost to the void of time (or a cardboard box somewhere in my mum's house), other versions of it are selling on eBay for £100 or more.

And there are Pokemon cards selling for anything from a tenner to hundreds or even thousands of pounds.

It's possible you also have items at home that are a collector's dream.

Gumtree says its collectables category is already proving to be a "hotbed of activity" this year, with listings up 22% in 2024 so far.

Its most popular items include rare stamps, coins, war memorabilia and Pokemon cards.

Spring is often the most popular time for buying and selling collectibles, with demand spiking in March and April.

We've enlisted the help of TV presenter and collectables expert Tracy Martin to give an idea of what could make you an easy buck.

Old toys making a 'retro comeback'

Tracy explains that while trends change, vintage toys tend to stand the test of time.

"Toys are always going to be popular because they tap into nostalgia, our childhood memories," she says, explaining that adults like to buy the toys they used to have.

Perhaps you were into cars, and you've got some old diecast vehicles from Matchbox, Corgi or Dinky Toys.

A quick look on toy auction site Vectis.co.uk shows a Corgi Toys "James Bond" Aston Martin estimated to sell for between £600 to £700 - while others are likely to fetch £50 to £60.

Sindy dolls are also particularly sought after - particularly those from the 1960s - and Barbie dolls from the 1990s too.

Pokemon cards have seen a "massive surge", Tracy says, with people paying "thousands and thousands of pounds" for good unopened sets.

She's even seen examples of people paying £16,000 upwards.

Another up-and-coming market is games consoles, such as Gameboys, vintage consoles and PlayStations, which are making a "retro comeback".

What else could earn you some cash?

Tracy says there's currently a surge in people wanting to buy "mid century" furniture, which is dated to roughly 1945 to 1965 and typically uses clean lines and has a timeless feel.

Vintage Danish furniture is sought after, particularly tables and chairs with good designer names such as Wegner, Verner Panton and Arne Jacobsen.

Prices range from the low hundreds into the thousands.

People will also look out for vintage framed prints by artists such as Tretchikoff, J.H. Lynch and Shabner - these can range in price from £50 upwards to a few hundred pounds plus.

Vintage clothes, handbags and shoes can fetch a good price - but you can also invest in modern pieces.

Tracy suggests looking out for good classic designs with high-end designer names such as Gucci, Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton.

Modern designers such as Irregular Choice, Vendula and Lulu Guinness are also collected.

Collaborations with designers and celebrities can do well as they're often limited edition.

For example, Tracy says the H&M x Paco Rabanne maxi silver sequin dress retailed at £279.99 last year but now sells for in excess of £600.

When it comes to shoes, "the quirkier the design the better" - so look out for brands such as Irregular Choice and Joe Browns.

Converse and Dr Martens collaborations also do well, depending on the design and condition, as well as Adidas and Nike limited edition trainers.

What's the best way to sell?

Tracy recommends to always research before selling your items, as they might perform better on different platforms and you can also get an idea of how much they sell for.

For example, Vinted can be a good place to sell clothes and shoes, while other items might be better suited for sale on Gumtree, eBay or Etsy.

Tracy's favourite way to sell is through auction - especially if there are specialist sales.

Vectis is one of the biggest and most popular for toy selling.

Interests in different periods and items can go up and down, but for the time being vintage pieces from the 1980s and 90s are popular.

How much you'll be able to get from an item often takes into account its rarity, condition, whether it reflects a period in time, and if it's got a good name behind it.

You never know - you might be sitting on a treasure trove.

Annual mortgage repayments have increased by up to 70% since 2021, according to new data from Zoopla .

The biggest impact of rising interest rates has been in southern England where house prices are higher.

Across the South West, South East and East of England, the annual mortgage cost for an average home is £5,000 higher than previously. This rises to £7,500 in London.

But the universal uptick in mortgage costs has been less pronounced in other parts of the UK, with the North East seeing a £2,350 increase.

In a bid to tackle inflation, the Bank of England has raised the base rate from 0.1% in December 2021 to a 16-year high of 5.25% now.

The Zoopla research looked at the average home buyer taking out a 70% loan-to-value mortgage.

This week seems to be starting where last week left off - with three major lenders announcing further hikes in mortgage rates.

Amid uncertainty of the timing of interest rate cuts from the Bank of England this year, swap rates (which dictate how much it costs lenders to lend) have been rising in recent weeks.

Financial markets currently see two rate cuts by the Bank of England this year.

We've reported on a string of rate bumps from the high street over the last 10 days, and this morning NatWest, Santander and Nationwide moved.

In its second hikes announcement in less than a week, NatWest laid out increases across its full range of residential and buy-to-let fixed deals of up to 0.22%.

Santander, meanwhile, announced increases for both fixed and tracker deals across their residential and buy-to-let products - up to 0.25%.

The same hikes are being imposed for a range of Nationwide deals.

All of these will kick in tomorrow.

Amit Patel, adviser at Trinity Finance, told Newspage it was "not a great start to the week".

"This is not good news for borrowers," he said.

Where will the base rate go this year?

The majority of the bets, according to LSEG data, are on the first cut coming in August (previously this was June) and the second in December.

This would take Bank rate from the current level of 5.25% to 4.75%.

Disabled people could receive vouchers instead of monthly payments under proposed changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

The changes could see people being provided with either one-off grants for specific costs such as home adaptation, or being directed to "alternative means of support" rather than financial support.

Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride is set to announce plans today to overhaul the way disability benefits work.

In a Green Paper due to be published alongside Mr Stride's statement to the Commons, ministers will set out plans to reform Personal Independence Payments (PIP), the main disability benefit, through changes to eligibility criteria and assessments.

The plans also include proposals to "move away from a fixed cash benefit system", meaning people with some conditions, such as depression and anxiety, will no longer receive regular payments but rather get improved access to treatment if their condition does not involve extra costs.

Speaking to Sky News earlier, Mr Stride said: "I want us to have a grown-up, sensible conversation about a benefit called PIP that has not been reviewed in over a decade.

"And I want to ask the question, is it fit for purpose given the world that we're in today, in which mental health issues sadly present more of an issue than they did a decade ago."

By James Sillars , business reporter

A fresh high for the FTSE 100 to start the week.

The index of leading shares in London was 0.5% up at 8,179 in early dealing.

The gains were led by miners and financial stocks.

Dragging on the performance were some consumer-facing brands including JD Sports and Flutter Entertainment.

One other development of note to mention is that stubbornly high oil price.

A barrel of Brent crude is currently trading almost 1% down on the day.

But it remains at $88 a barrel.

The market has been pulled by various forces this month, with hopes of a rebound in demand in China among them.

The latest decline is said to reflect peace talks being held between Israel and Hamas.

A demand for smaller homes has driven growth in UK property prices early in 2024, according to research by Halifax.

Data from the bank's house price index suggests annual property price growth hit 1.9% in February this year - a significant rise from -4.1% just three months prior.

That equates to a rise in prices of £5,318 over the past year.

It follows interest rates stabilising, Halifax says, after a sharp rise over the past two years which squeezed mortgage affordability.

A key driver behind rising prices, Halifax says, has been first-time buyers, who made up 53% of all homes bought with a mortgage in 2023 - the highest proportion since 1995.

And it's smaller homes that have recorded the biggest increases in price growth in the early part of this year - with buyers adjusting their expectations to compensate for higher borrowing costs.

Flats and terraced houses made up 57% of all homes purchased by first-time buyers last year.

This varies by region - for example, in London, flats and terraced homes accounted for 90% of all first-time buyer purchases.

Challenges remain

However, Amanda Bryden, head of Halifax mortgages, said "it's important not to gloss over the challenges" facing the UK housing market, given the "impact of higher interest rates on mortgage affordability" and "continued lack of supply of new homes".

"But scratch beneath the surface and there is a more nuanced story, one which shows that demand for different property types in different parts of the country can vary hugely," she added.

"As interest rates have stabilised and buyers adjust to the new economic reality of owning a home, one way to compensate for higher borrowing costs is to target smaller properties.

"This is especially true among first-time buyers, who have proven to be resilient over recent years, and now account for the largest proportion of homes purchased with a mortgage in almost 30 years."
