Dhopap, held in great reverence, is in
Sultanpur District of
Uttar Pradesh. It was at this place that
Lord Ram had taken a dip in the river on the advice of Maharshi Vashishth. Peoples believe that one who visits the place on the day of
Dussehra, can wash his sins in the Gomti River. There is a grand temple frequented by large crowds of worshippers.
The tract of the river Gomti around Dhopap (pargana Chanda, tehsil
Kadipur) is described as Dhutpap in Vishnu Puran.
