Apart from the temple, the image also shows the Sarayu river, Dashrath Mahal, and the Ayodhya Railway Station.
Cartosat satellites are part of a series of Earth observation satellites launched by ISRO in the past two decades. NRSC is one of the primary ISRO centres, with a mandate for the establishment of ground stations for receiving satellite data, generation of data products, dissemination to the users, development of techniques for remote sensing applications including disaster management support, geospatial services for good governance, and capacity building for professionals, faculty, and students.
