Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa 2.105.22

Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, sarga 105: Bharata carries the sandals home. The company circles Citrakūṭa, Bharata reports Rāma’s decision to Bharadvāja and recrosses the Yamunā & Gaṅgā toward Ayodhyā

In the sequence: the company crosses the Yamunā and Gaṅgā, passes through Śṛṅgaverapura, and continues toward Ayodhyā → as he approaches home, Bharata again notices its desolation.
