It was the headquarters of Faizabad district and Faizabad division until 6 November 2018, when the Uttar Pradesh cabinet headed by chief minister Yogi Adityanath approved the renaming of Faizabad district as Ayodhya. Faizabad is situated on the banks of river Saryu about 130 km east of state capital Lucknow.
