Encyclopedic overview
The Gomti, Gumti or Gomati River is a river flowing entirely within the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. It is a tributary of the Ganges.
The river, fed by monsoons and groundwater, begins its journey at the Gomat Taal, near Madhotanda, in Pilibhit district. It then reaches a confluence with the smaller Gaihaaee 20 kilometres (12 mi) from its origin. The Gomti is a narrow stream until it reaches Mohammadi Kheri, a tehsil of Lakhimpur Kheri district (about 68 kilometres (42 mi)from its origin), where it is joined by a number of tributaries, notably the Sukheta, Choha and Andhra Choha. By that point, the river is well-defined, with the Kathina tributary joining it at Mailani and Sarayan joining it at a village in Sitapur district. A major tributary is the Sai River, which joins the Gomti near Jaunpur. The Markandey Mahadeo temple lies at the confluence of the Gomti and the Ganges.
