Rama's First Night of Exile
Gauraghat marks the sacred spot where Lord Rama stayed during the very first night of his 14-year exile from Ayodhya. The present names for the Tamsa river in this area derive from Gaura (Parvati), connecting Shaivite tradition with Rama's journey.
This historically significant ghat reminds pilgrims of the poignant moment when Rama left his beloved city, beginning the epic journey that would become the Ramayana.
