Allahabad Fort was built in the year 1583 by the great Emperor named Akbar. The Allahabad Fort was the largest fort built by Akbar. The fort has huge and massive walls and three gateways that are flanked by high towers. The glorious outer wall of the fort rises above the water's edge. In the fort the most interesting and picturesque structure is the Ashoka Pillar that was earthed by the order of the great Mauryan King, Ashoka in 232 BC. The victories of Samudragupta have been praised in the inscriptions on the pillar. The pillar also contains decrees that were there since the times of Ashoka.

The temple of Nageshwarnath is one of the most frequented temples in Ayodhya. The temple stands tall amidst numerous 'Matths' and 'Akhadaras' that exist in the city of Ayodhya. Nageshwarnath Temple is supposed to be established by Raja Kush, the younger son of Lord Rama. The festival of Shivaratri is celebrated here with great pomp and splendor.

The Ramkote is the main place of worship in Ayodhya. The ancient citadel of Ramkote stands on an elevated ground in the western part of the city. Presently, the area is occupied by buildings, mostly temples and maths. This place is visited by pilgrims throughout the year, but mainly during the Ram Navami, the birth of Lord Rama.

It is a temple that stands at the place where Rama is said to have performed the Ashwamedha Yagna. The Raja of Kulu is said to have built a new temple here about 300 years ago called Kaleram ka Mandir, where the idols of Lord Rama, Sita, Lakshman and Bharat have reportedly been carved out of a single block of black sandstone. These idols are supposed to be from the original Rama temple, which once stood on the banks of the River Sarayu.

Hanumangarhi is one of the most important temples of Ayodhya. This temple is situated in the center of the town and approachable by a flight of 76 steps. As per the legends, the Lord Hanuman lived here in a cave and guarded the Ramkote.

Kanak Bhawan is one of the finest temples in Ayodhya. It was built by queen of tikamgarh, virshbhanu kuvari in 1891. The main temple is built around an opened inner court in which stands a small shrine of Rampada. The main idols installed inside the garbhagriha are of Devi Sit & Lord Rama. The sanctrum is well decorated .
