EV. Joshi, *U.P. District Gazetteers–Faizabad*, Lucknow, 1960, p. 352. (Mrs.) Joshi writes, 'The Janmasthan was in Ramkot and marked the birthplace of Rama. It seems that in 1528 Babur visited Ayodhya and under his orders this ancient temple was destroyed and on the site was built what came to be known as Babur's mosque... Outside the outer wall of this contested shrine there is an old and broken image of the Varah (boar).'
