Guha the boatman-king at Shringverpur

Variant

Versions differ on whether Guha guided Rama onward at all.

Guha, king of the Nishadas, ruled Shringiverapura on the Ganga. His boatmen ferried Rama, Sita and Lakshmana across. In the Kamba Ramayanam Rama stays in Guha's village while Guha keeps watch all night; in the Ramacharitamanasa Guha escorts them to Bharadvaja's hermitage. A temple of Shringi Rishi was unearthed at Shringverpur.
