The history of Sita Ki Rasoi takes us back to Treta Yug when a royal kitchen was constructed here, by King Dasrath. After her marriage with Lord Rama, Goddess Sita prepared food for her new family at this spot. It is also believed that Goddess Sita served food to five saints in this kitchen and became ‘Annapoorna’ for the entire universe.

Puranic mythology considers Goddess Sita to be an incarnation of the compassionate deity, Annapoorna. In continuance with this belief, it is important for all newlywed brides to visit this temple before preparing the first meals in their new homes. The darshan gifts the married woman with the blessings of Goddess Annapoorna and the divine being resides in her.

Sita Ki Rasoi is a part of the fabled royal palace in Ayodhya. This building was styled as a kitchen during the Treta Yug. Today, the temple houses idols of Lord Rama and his three brothers, along with their wives, which have all been decorated with precious ornaments. It also contains earthen utensils, as symbols of its rich and glorified past.

It is said that Goddess Sita prepared three kinds of Kheer, Matar Ghughri, Kadhi, Malpue and other delicacies in her kitchen. Thereby, the devotees make offerings of the same dishes here.
