Ayodhya was the capital of the Kingdom of Kosala in Avadha. Mention of Lord Ram is not only found in ancient Hindu texts, but also in texts of Jainism and Buddhism. Lord Ram is the central figure of the ancient Hindu epic Ramayana - a text that not only has significance in India, but in cultures throughout South and Southeast Asia. Why it falls on a different day and date every year? Because it is based on the Hindu or Lunar calendar, in which every month is 28 days (based on the lunar cycle). Hence the day and date changes every year on the Gregorian calendar which is used worldwide today.
