History
The area of present-day Gonda District of Uttar Pradesh is mentioned in the Mahabharata as Anga or Angdesh'. Duryodhana had declared Karna the king of this country. According to the beliefs, Jarasandha had presented the organ country to Duryodhana as a gift.[5][6] This place is also known as Shaktipeeth. The name of this district comes from the Sanskrit-Hindi word 'Gonarda', meaning cow's voice. The cowsheds of the royal lineage of Ayodhya viz. Ikshvaku (Raghukul) of the Solar dynasty were located here. The territory covered by the present district of Gonda is a part of the ancient Anga. After the departure to Saket Dham of Lord Rama, the celebrated sovereign of the Solar line who ruled Kosala, the kingdom was divided into two portions defined by the Ghaghara river. The northern portion was then ruled by his son, Lava, with the city of Shravasti as his capital.[7]
More recently, ancient Buddhist remains dating to the early days of Buddhism have been found throughout the region, including Sravasti.[8]
