Pāli City of Ayojjhā
In the Pheṇapiṇḍūpama Sutta (S 22.95) we do find a city called Ayojjhā but the text says-
- Ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā ayojjhāyaṃ viharati gaṅgāya nadiyā tīre. (S iii.140)
- At one time the Bhagavan was staying on the banks of the Ganges River at Ayojjhā. [my translation]
The modern day city of Ayodhyā is not on the Ganges River, it is on the Saryu River. There are several possibilities-
- it is the same city but the Ganges moved
- it is the same city but the texts got the river mixed up
- it is not the same city but has the same name.

Also the Pāli texts are confused between the spelling ayojjhā and ayujjhā. Jayarava 08:18, 23 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahaabaala (talk • contribs)
Expansion
There should be details of the current population, local industry and culture. The ==History== section needs to be expanded to cover the period from the seventh century to 1990.—Theo (Talk) 12:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
