Ram ki Paidi (Hindi: राम की पैड़ी) is a series of ghats on the bank of the Saryu river in Ayodhya, India. A large number of pilgrims visit daily to take a bath in the holy waters.[1]

There were enormous bathing ghats throughout the banks of the Sarayu, and the ones at Nayaghat were immersed in heavy rain and floods. These were rebuilt in 1985.[2]

On Deepawali in October 2019 Ayodhya created a Guinness world record by lighting 450,000 lamps at the Ram ki Paidi.[3]
