About Sitakund Ghat
The main ghat of Sultanpur on the Gomti, where Sita is said to have bathed on the return from Lanka. Sultanpur was Kusbhawanpur once, founded by Kush. The ghat has been rebuilt with steps and an evening aarti, and Kartik Purnima brings the bathing crowd. The river is deep and fast after rain.
