Area Overview
What makes Ram Katha Park special
Ram Katha Park is one of Ayodhya’s best-known public spaces — an open riverside ground near Naya Ghat used for religious gatherings, cultural programmes and civic events, and one of the places most heavily worked on under the city’s development programme.
IT IS NOT SOMEWHERE PEOPLE LIVE. There is effectively no housing stock inside it, so no price range can honestly be published against the name. This page exists so the row resolves rather than 404s, and so anyone searching the term lands on an explanation.
THE SAME CLASS OF ENTRY HAS APPEARED BEFORE — Maidan on the Kolkata sheet is Kolkata’s central park, and was handled the same way. IF A LISTING IS FILED HERE, the property is in a surrounding locality and the row should be corrected at source to name it.

Transport & Commuting
Getting around from Ram Katha Park
Exceptionally Connected
Rail, road and air • NO METRO — Metro Lite proposed only • Ayodhya Dham Junction • Airport 12 km
Local Train
Ayodhya Dham Junction is the main station, rebuilt and reopened in December 2023. Ayodhya Cantt (the former Faizabad Junction) serves the western side of the twin-city belt.
Metro
Ayodhya has NO METRO. UPMRC has proposed a Metro Lite for Ayodhya, Varanasi and Mathura, but it is at study stage — no line is under construction and no date is fixed. Connectivity runs on rail and road: Ayodhya Dham Junction was rebuilt and reopened in December 2023, and Maharishi Valmiki International Airport opened the same month. Judge this locality on road distance, not on a line that does not exist.
Airport
Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, opened December 2023, is about 12 km — around 25 minutes off peak, longer on festival days.
Roads
The EM Bypass, VIP Road, Diamond Harbour Road and Barrackpore Trunk Road form the arterial network, with Chowringhee through the centre.
