Situated on the banks of river Sarayu, also known as Ghaggar, Guptar Ghat is a revered site in Faizabad near Ayodhya. With a flight of steps leading to the holy river, this ghat was once the neighbour of the colonial Company Gardens, which is now known as the Gupta Ghat Van.
This place is said to be the place where the Hindu deity Lord Ram meditated and undertook the ‘Jal Samadhi’ in the river. After which, he attained ‘Baikuntha’ and descended into heaven as an avatar of Lord Vishnu.
Among the several temples situated here, the Sita- Ram temple, Chakrahari shrine and the Narsingh temple are popular. Revamped in the 1800s and constantly improvised by the UP Government, the Guptar Ghat is currently equipped with modern amenities as well.
