Why pair Buxar and Kancheepuram
According to IRCTC, Lord Shri Ram was married in Buxar and Dasaratha had gone to Kanchipuram when he did not have a son. After his return, he had four sons. For this reason both the places are important. Common people do not know about these places, so have decided to add.
