Ayodhya is a the name of a Hindu legendary city , it became the centre of Buddhist/Jain pilgrims. The Guptas rename Saketa to Ayodhya. Later Ayodhya was appropriated by brahmanists, similar to how Buddhism was appropriated, by adopting the finer refine teachings of buddha and declaring Buddha as the 9th incarnation of Hindu god.
My point - there is no mention of ram as god in the vedas, ram cult gain prominence after the the 16th Century after Tulsi das wrote Ramcharitmanas , extolling ram as the supreme god in the vernacular language of the region - awadhi.
Moreover, no where had Tulsi das mentioned that Babri masjid was the actual birth place of ram
Finally, I am glad that Hindustani are worshipping a Dravidian Tamil as their god
1. Ayodhya is a Legendary Hindu city. Only its continues to exist even today.
2. It is also a Buddhist and Jail pilgrimage center for obvious reasons. They have come out of Hinduism. (as as why Jerusalem is important for all abrahamic religions)
3. The location of Ayodhya is given in the Ramayana itself. Ayodhya was located on the southern bank of the Sarayu River (Known as Ghagra River now). It was the capital of the Kosala Kingdom who's southern border was the northern bank of the River Ganga.
Sri Ram, when he was exiled crossed the border by crossing the Ganga and walked to PrayagRaj (Triveni sangam) to meet Rishi Bharadwaj. He then crossed River Yamuna and walked 2 days to reach Chitrakoota.
If you look at the map of India, that is exactly where Ayodhya is still located.
4. People of Ayodhya and the surrounding areas always had 3 holy spots in that place.
a. Ram Janmasthanam (Place where Sri. Ram was born)
b. Svargadvaram (where Sri. Ram was cremated)
c. Treta-ke-Thakur (where Sri. Ram conducted the Ashwamedha yagna)
Aurangzeb destroyed all 3 locations and built mosques there and that is recorded history.
5. Kindom of Kosala had 3 main cities, Ayodhya, Saket and Shravasti. So its not Ayodhya that is missing, its Saket and Shravasti that is missing.
Ayodhya was always a FAMOUS city who's location can never be forgotten by the collective. The same way no one is confused about the location of the "real" Jerusalem.
6. Considering Sri. Ram was born on the banks of the Ghagra river which is NORTH of even Ganga, I am glad you consider him a Dravidian.
