Surya Kund Ayodhya

Surya Kund, located in Ayodhya, is a sacred water tank dedicated to Surya Dev (Sun God). It holds immense religious and historical significance, as Ayodhya is believed to be founded by King Ikshvaku, a descendant of Surya's dynasty. Devotees believe that bathing in the kund during festivals like Chhath Puja and Makar Sankranti purifies the soul and brings blessings. Surya Kund is surrounded by temples and ghats, reflecting the ancient architectural style of Ayodhya. Though lesser known than Ram Janmabhoomi, it remains an important spiritual site, symbolizing the city’s deep-rooted connection with Vedic traditions and solar worship.
