History

The Samudra Narayan Temple honours Goddess Gomti and is located where the River Gomti and the Arabian Sea meet. The tale states that Rishi Vasishtha brought River Gomti down from heaven to sanctify Rama following his fight with Ravana. 

Goddess Gomti appeared here on the ghat following Rama's cleansing and then sank into the Arabian Sea. The temple houses exquisite idols of Lord Varuna, Samudra Deva, Mira Bai, and Mother Asta Bhavani in addition to Goddess Gomti. The temple has a sacred tank, or kund, where a number of ritual sacrifices are made.

The temple's amazing internal architectural design has drawn admirers from all around the world. Additionally, there are five wells that yield delicious water, or Panchanada Teertha, all around this temple. Another nearby shrine, Chakra Narayana, has a stone engraved with a Sudarshan chakra, which represents Lord Vishnu. 

You could visit the neighbouring Manoratha Dwar, a meditation cave, after paying your respects to Lord Chakra Narayan. This cave has been the practice of Dhyaan yoga for numerous saints.
