'''Sarayan''' is small tributary of [[Gomti River|Gomti]] river which flows through [[Lakhimpur Kheri district|Lakhimpur]] and [[Sitapur district|Sitapur]] district of [[Uttar Pradesh]].<br />
<br />
== Course ==<br />
Sarayan originates in Haidarabad paragana near the town of Gola Gokaranath. After a course of about 49 miles from its origin, it enters Sitapur district near the village of Naurangpur. It traverses from North to South in Sitapur flowing in a very irregular winding course. After running a few miles, it is joined by a small stream Jamwari neat the village of Tehar, soom after which it takes a southerly course and reaches Sitapur where it passes through the middle of the city. Finally, it joins [[Gomti River|Gomati]] near the village of Hindaura in [[Sidhauli]] ''tehseel''<ref>{{Cite book|title = Uttar Pradesh district gazetteers|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=-4IbAAAAIAAJ|publisher = Government of Uttar Pradesh|date = 1988-01-01|language = en|first = Uttar Pradesh|last = (India)}}</ref>''.''<br />
<br />
In the upper portion of its course, it the stream flows in a shallow bed, but further South the channel of this stream grows deeper and banks are high and sandy, and are intersected by ravines.<br />
<br />
== Floods and Nevigation ==<br />
In wet years, the river is liable to cause excessive and destructive floods in the town of [[Sitapur]] and other places which lie along the banks, but ordinarily it serves its purpose as a drainage line. It is navigable by small boats in only its lower reaches, but it is rarely used as a means of communication. <gallery><br />
