King Dasharatha's Ashwamedha Yagna
Today, we shall see how Ayodhya prepares for Raja Dasaratha’s Ashwamedha Yagna and the list of guests as well!
• After the royal horse returned unchallenged, Raja Dasharatha began the Yagna north of the Sarayu’s banks. It was conducted in Spring season, a year after all preliminary rituals.
• Hundreds of sanctified houses were built for Brahmanas, with food and drinks. Spacious accommodation was also arranged for city dwellers too and kings arriving from distant places. Similarly, many horse stables and elephant stalls and large camps for erected for soldiers.
