Sudama Setu
સુદામા સેતુ
A footbridge across the Gomti River linking the ghat to a sandbar opposite. It is the best spot for panoramic photos of the temple.
The Sudama Setu is a suspension footbridge completed in 2016 and named after Sudama, Krishna's childhood friend. It crosses from Gomti Ghat to the far bank, to the sandbar called Panchkui ('Five Wells') and small shrines associated with the Pandavas. From the bridge you can photograph both the ghat steps and the spire of the Dwarkadhish Temple, making it the most classic viewpoint in town. It is typically open about 7am to 1pm and 4pm to 7:30pm. A small fee of about 10 rupees applies, and it may close temporarily in rough weather. After crossing, camels and horse carts on the sandbar often approach visitors, so agree on the price first.
