Ayodhyapuri is one of the places thought and claimed by Nepal PM Mr. Oli in 2022 to be the birthplace of the Hindu deity Rama, But there are no evidence of it, as per history and evidence the actual birthplace of Rama is in Ayodhya near saryu river in UP state of India. The Department of Archeology of Nepal has started an archeological excavation to look for evidence in support of Ayodhyapuri's claim.[2]
