The Gomti River is one of the most significant rivers of Uttar Pradesh, flowing gracefully through the heart of the state and enriching its cultural, historical, and ecological landscape. Originating from Gomat Taal (Fulhar Jheel) near Madhotanda in Pilibhit district, the river travels approximately 960 km, passing through major districts such as Sitapur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Hardoi, Lucknow, Barabanki, Jaunpur, and Ghazipur before merging with the Ganga River near Saidpur in Ghazipur district. The Gomti River is especially famous in Lucknow, where its scenic riverfront, historic ghats, and iconic bridges add charm to the city’s heritage. Revered for its religious importance, the river hosts rituals, festivals, and cultural gatherings along its banks, making it a key attraction for pilgrims and tourists. Surrounded by urban landmarks and rural landscapes, the Gomti River plays a vital role in irrigation, water supply, and biodiversity, making it an essential natural asset of Uttar Pradesh.
