25+ lakh pilgrims circumambulate the 42-kilometer outer kingdom boundary of ancient Ayodhya over 24 hours.
The 14 Kosi Parikrama (42 km) marks the auspicious circumambulation of Kosala kingdom on Akshaya Navami, believed to absolve all sins and bestow lifelong spiritual merit.
The route begins after a holy dip in the Saryu at Naya Ghat and winds clockwise through Chakratirtha, Guptar Ghat perimeter, Surya Kund, and Bharat Kund corridors.
