Ayodhya - Dharmahari

Ayodhya - Dharmahari: (South-East of Chandrahari)

(Skanda Purana - Ayodhya Mahatmya - 4)

• I meditate on brahmin Dharma dancing in ecstasy in Ayodhya and getting the darshan of Lord Vishnu.

• A brahmin named Dharma came to Ayodhya on pilgrimage. He was so filled with joy that he started proclaiming the glory of Ayodhya within himself saying "How great is this place!". Thereafter he started dancing in ecstasy meditating on Ayodhya. Lord Vishnu appeared before Dharma. Dharma started eulogizing the Lord. Lord Vishnu gave him a boon by which he installed the image of the Lord with his name. This image became known as Dharmahari.

• Annual festival: Asadha Shukla Ekadasi

• Holy bath: Taking bath in Swargadwara and visiting Dharmahari.

► Ayodhya - Dharmahari Temple
(Ayodhya district, Uttar Pradesh)

The shrine of Dharmahari is within the Chitragupta Temple of Ayodhya (behind the Vasudev Ghat road).
