The Kanak Bhawan is located in Tulsi Nagar, near the northeastern part of the Ram Janmabhoomi. This temple, also known as Sone-ka-Ghar, was built in 1891. It is a Hindu pilgrimage place devoted to Lord Rama and his wife, Goddess Sita.
The sanctum santorum of Kanak Bhawan, which also means Golden Palace, has three golden-crowned statues of the two gods under a silver canopy (Garbagriha). This shrine is said to have been given to Rama and Sita by Rama's stepmother, Kaikeyi.
The current location was completely refurbished by Vrish Bhanu Kunwari after being designed renovated during Vikramaditya's reign. The Sri Vrishbhan Dharma Setu Trust Private Limited is presently in charge of this Bundela-styled temple.
