Shringaverapura (శృంగవేరపురం)

Today: Singraur, Uttar Pradesh

When Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana left Ayodhya for their exile, they came to the wide Ganga river here. Guha, the chief of the boatmen, loved Rama like a brother and ferried the three of them across in his own boat. It was Rama's last step out of his old kingdom - on the far bank, the forest life truly began.
