The Gomti, Gumti or Gomati River ((ヒンディー語:गोमती) ''Gomtī'') is a tributary of the Ganga River. According to Hindu mythology the river is the daughter of Sage Vashist, and bathing in the waters of the Gomati on Ekadashi (the eleventh day of the Sanatana Dharma-Hindu calendar) can wash away one's sins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ribexpedition.com/expeditions/index.php/3-gomati-the-forgotten-river )〕 According to the major religious work, Srimad Bhagavatam, the Gomati is one of the many transcendental rivers in India.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Srimad Bhagavatam 5.19.17-18 )〕 It is the river where scared Gomti Chakras are found. ==Geography== The Gomti originates from Gomat Taal which formally known as Fulhaar jheel, near Madho Tanda, Pilibhit, India. It extends through Uttar Pradesh and meets the Ganges River near Saidpur, Kaithi in Varanasi district. After from its origin, a very small river, the Gaihaaee, meets it. The river is a thin stream until it reaches Mohammadi Kheri (about 100 km from its origin), a tehsil of Lakhimpur Kheri district, where it is joined by some tributaries like Sukheta, Choha and Andhra Choha. From here the river is well defined. Later other tributaries join this river. These are Kathina at Mailani and Sarayan at a village in Sitapur district. Another major tributary is the Sai River, which joins near Jaunpur. At the sangam (confluence) of Gomti and Ganges, the famous Markandey Mahadeo temple is situated. After , the Gomti enters Lucknow, through which it meanders for about . At the entrance point water is lifted from the river for the city's water supply. In the Lucknow area, 25 city drains pour untreated sewage into the Gomti. At the downstream end the Gomti barrage impounds the river converting it into a lake. The cities of Lucknow, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sultanpur and Jaunpur are located on the banks of the Gomti and are the most prominent of the 15 towns in its catchment area. The river cuts the Jaunpur city into two equal halves and becomes wider in Jaunpur. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gomti River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
