The Sur ghat is loacted at wazirabad.wonder where it got this name? has the name come from sur dynasty?
The Sur was the Afghan dynasty that ruled northern India (1540-56), founded by Sher Shah Sur (r.1540-45), who won great victories at Chausa (1539) and Kananj (1540) and drove the Mughals from Delhi.
After the death o...f Selim Shah (r.1545-53) the dynasty fractured through succession disputes, allowing Humayun to reconquer Delhi.
The Yamuna (Sanskrit: यमुना, sometimes called Jamuna or Jumna) is the largest tributary of river ganga. Originating from the Yamunotri Glacier it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometers before merging with the Ganges at Sangam,Allahabad. Nearly 57 million people depend on the Yamuna waters. It is worshipped as goddess Yamuna, throughout its course. This is an endeavour to connect with this great river.
