Kanak Bhavan is the Ram–Sita temple of the temple core — a courtyard shrine in Tulsi Nagar, north-east of the Ramkot area and roughly 2 km from Ayodhya Junction, reported to house crowned Ram–Sita idols and to have been rebuilt in 1891 by the royal family of Orchha (Tikamgarh).
Travel-portal listings give 8:00–11:00 AM and 4:30–9:00 PM as timings with free entry; a second listing differs slightly (8–12 and 4–9:30), and no official timing publication exists — so treat both as reported. Checked 01 October 2026.
What it is
The temple’s own account and local tradition identify it as Sita’s palace — the name reads as “golden house” — and its idols are the crowned Ram–Sita pair. The 1891 rebuilding is a reported historical fact from travel documentation; older origin stories belong to tradition rather than verified history, and we present them as such.

How it fits the day
On the 2-day itinerary Kanak Bhavan sits in the late-morning gap after first-slot darshan — an easy walk from the Janmabhoomi paths, roofed, and a natural rest stop between the queue and lunch. With elders, its courtyard makes a calmer stop than the step climb at Hanumangarhi.
