Lata Mangeshkar Chowk
लता मंगेशकर चौक
A roundabout square built to honor the legendary singer. At its center stands a 12-meter-tall bronze veena sculpture, which has become Ayodhya's new landmark and photo spot.
Lata Mangeshkar Chowk was completed in 2022 to commemorate Lata Mangeshkar, the Indian 'Nightingale' singer. At its center stands a bronze veena sculpture about 12 meters long and weighing about 14 tonnes. The instrument is carved with white lotus and peacock motifs that symbolize wisdom, and it is surrounded by lotus-shaped pools that look especially lovely when lit at night. Entry is free, and it is open all day. The square is at the junction of the main road south of Naya Ghat, about a 5-minute walk from Ram ki Paidi. It is ideal for a photo stop after the evening prayers. Allow 15 to 20 minutes.
