Pāli City of Ayojjhā
In the Pheṇapiṇḍūpama Sutta (S 22.95) we do find a city called Ayojjhā but the text says-


 * Ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā ayojjhāyaṃ viharati gaṅgāya nadiyā tīre. (S iii.140)
 * At one time the Bhagavan was staying on the banks of the Ganges River at Ayojjhā. [my translation]

The modern day city of Ayodhyā is not on the Ganges River, it is on the Saryu River. There are several possibilities- Jayarava 08:14, 23 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahaabaala (talk • contribs)
 * 1) it is the same city but the Ganges moved
 * 2) it is the same city but the texts got the river mixed up
 * 3) it is not the same city but has the same name.

Also the Pāli texts are confused between the spelling ayojjhā and ayujjhā. Jayarava 08:18, 23 August 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahaabaala (talk • contribs)

Expansion
There should be details of the current population, local industry and culture. The ==History== section needs to be expanded to cover the period from the seventh century to 1990.&mdash;Theo (Talk) 12:02, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
