Chittaura Jheel

Chitaura Jheel (Chitaura lake) is a Hindu pilgrimage site, centred around a pond in Bahraich district in Uttar Pradesh, India. The site is believed to be the place where the fight between Raja Sukhdeo and Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud took place in June 1033. Ashtwarka Muni, the Guru of Maharaja Janak used to live here in his ashram. Every year, a fair is organized here on Basant Panchami. A temple is also situated here, as well as a statue of Raja Sukhdeo.
