Sita Ki Rasoi

Situated on the north-western side of the Ram Janmanhoomi in Ayodhya's Rajkot, Sita ki Rasoi is believed to be an ancient kitchen used by goddess Sita herself. Built quite close to the Ram Janmabhoomi, this sacred site is now a temple housing some exhibit vessels. One among the two kitchens revered in Sita's name, this Sita Ki Rasoi is a basement kitchen.

The other end of the temple cites the richly clothed and embellished idols of Ram, Lakshman, Bharat and Shatrughan and their wives Sita, Urmila, Mandavi and Srutakirti. Worshipped as the Goddess of Food, Sita is also known as Goddess Annapurna. Thus, the temple follows this tradition by offering free food. It is believed that Sita Mata also served food to the Panch Rishis in this kitchen. Therefore Mother Sita is Annapurna of the entire world. Visitors can also donate any amount of money for charity here.
