Sravasti

Shravasti also known as Savatthi in Pali, was a city of ancient India and one of the six largest cities in India during Gautama Buddha's lifetime. The city is located in the fertile Gangetic plains in the present-day district of the same name, Shravasti, that belongs to Devipatan Division of Uttar Pradesh near Balrampur, some 170 kilometres (106 mi) north-east of Lucknow. Earlier, it was a part of the Bahraich district, but the latter was split due to administrative reasons.
