Ayodhya is a city located in the Ayodhya district of Uttar Pradesh, India. The city is identified with the legendary city of Ayodhya, and as such, is the birthplace of Rama and the setting of the epic Ramayana. The accuracy of this identification is central to the Ayodhya dispute: modern scholars variously believe that the present-day Ayodhya is same as the legendary Ayodhya, or that a legendary city is a mythical place that came to be identified with the present-day Ayodhya only during the Gupta period around the 4th-5th century CE.
