Shri Kale Ram Temple Ayodhya

Overview

Shri Kale Ram Temple is in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, and is dedicated to Lord Ram. It is also known as Kaleram Mandir. Its street address is Theri Bazar, Ayodhya. King Vikramaditya is said to have restored the Kaleram temple around 2000 years ago and built a Ram temple on Ram ki Paidi. In 1528 A.D., a holy man named Shyamanand Saraswati placed an idol in the Saryu River to keep it safe. It remained in the water for 220 years. Then, in 1748 A.D., a Brahmin from Maharashtra came upon it during a bath in the river and took it to the Kale Ram temple. Ramnavami, celebrated in Chaitra (March to April), is the main festival here.
