We bade goodbye to Ayodhya and took the next train to Lucknow. We reached Lucknow after a 3 hour train journey in the afternoon and then rented a cab to Nimshar, 100 kms from Lucknow and 35 Kms from Sitapur. Lord Vishnu sits in the middle of the jungle and venturing into the forest in the evening was a bit risky. But still the darshan was worth the risk.


Our next journey from Lucknow was to Puri. We took Neelachal express and the 24 hour train ride took us through Bihar, Jharkand, West Bengal before we reached Orissa. It was again Vishnu temple there in Puri. He stands with his brother Balarama and sister Shubadhra in this temple.
