Introduction

Included in some traditional eastern lists. A specific, dated visit is not established here.

The Journey

Ayodhya appears in some later reconstructions of the first Udasi. This database records the association without converting it into a confirmed itinerary stop.

The Sakhi

According to Sikh tradition more broadly, Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught that Rama-name without inner truth is incomplete. Linking that teaching to a particular street in Ayodhya would be speculation.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Teaching

Sacred geography does not replace a truthful life.

Historical Context

Approximate period: Traditionally placed in the Udasis of Guru Nanak Dev Ji (often dated by later writers to the late 15th and early 16th centuries). Exact years are not established.

Chronology uncertain / traditional sequence only.

Sikh Historical Tradition

Later Sikh tradition strongly associates this place with Guru Nanak Dev Ji, but the evidence for a specific visit is less certain.

Janamsakhi recensions and later Sikh memory are not treated here as interchangeable with independently proven itinerary. Where evidence is thinner, the status label says so.
