The ancient city of Ayodhya
It is indeed the irony of fate that Sri Rama who was the gentlest person who ever existed, who was loved by all who met him, should have faced so many calamities during his own lifetime and is still having a raging storm surrounding his capital and doubts being cast about his very existence!
