When you visit Ayodhya, one place that truly touches the heart is Guptar Ghat. This holy ghat, situated on the banks of the Sarayu River, is believed to be the spot where Lord Rama took Jal Samadhi—leaving his human form and returning to Vaikuntha, the divine home of Lord Vishnu.
That’s why Guptar Ghat holds such a special and sacred place in people’s hearts.
