The city of Ayodhya in India the birthplace of Lord Rama has a history of over 3000 years. Referred in Ramayana, Mahabharata, Atharvaveda, and other ancient texts as an unconquerable city of gods is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Hindus since time immemorial. Chinese, Greek  and other European travellers have described it in its different periods of existence. There are thousands of  recorded tellings and re-tellings of the epic Ramayana  done in different countries and languages of the world  during last 30 centuries. The tangible and Intangible heritage related to the city of Ayodhya and Ram Temple stand as a testament to India's great cultural tradition.  After repeated destruction by invaders, rebuilding  by native rulers and legal battles the site  2024 saw its final relcamation, which facilitates conservation  of Intangible heritage of the site. But the fate of  Tangible Heritage is still vague. there is an urgent need to consider Informatics  and its  AI driven technologies for identification and virtual reconstruction of Tangible Heritage of the site.
