You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 01:01, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Satti Chaura Ghat''' (''Satī Caurā Ghāţ'')  or '''Massacre Ghat''' is a famous [[ghat]] in [[Kanpur]], the industrial hub of [[Uttar Pradesh]] state in north [[India]].<ref>((Cite web|last=Agrawal|first=Kritika|date=June 29, 2015|title=Even Ganga shuns Massacre Ghat|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kanpur/even-ganga-shuns-massacre-ghat/articleshow/47860896.cms|access-date=2021-07-12|website=The Times of India|language=en))</ref> It is located on the bank of the River Ganges in [[Kanpur Cantonment]] near [[Jajmau]].

==Geography==
The ghat is located on the southern bank of River Ganges and marks the northern boundary of Kanpur city.((citation needed|date=September 2014))

River [[ghat]]s have been a traditional part of [[India]]n [[religious]] life. They have served [[religious]] and [[community]] gathering purposes. When located on holy rivers like [[River Ganges]], they often have attached temples dedicated to [[deities]] of the [[Hindu]] [[Pantheon (gods)|pantheon]].((citation needed|date=September 2014))

Sati Chaura Ghat has been an important [[sea|maritime]] boarding point for the river route from Kanpur to [[Allahabad]] from pre colonial period. In recent years, after the acquisition of the surrounding areas by Cantonment Board and private industrialists, it has receded in its traditional historical importance as the centre of urban life in the old city of Kanpur.((citation needed|date=September 2014))

==History==
Satichaura or embankment of satis had been a place years ago some women had committed [[Sati (practice)|sati]] and in commemoration a small temple with stone steps along the bank to facilitate bathing, had been built.((citation needed|date=September 2014))

The origins of the ghat date to pre-colonial times.

It was at this location that the initial momentous events of [[Indian Rebellion of 1857]], named as [[Siege of Cawnpore]] in [[United Kingdom|British]] colonial records, took place.((citation needed|date=September 2014)) The ghat was renamed as Massacre Ghat after the rebellion. It is now under the charge of the Kanpur Cantonment Board. It is still in use as a bathing and ritual ghat for local population.((citation needed|date=June 2017))

===The siege===
((main|Siege of Cawnpore))

This Ghat has become historically important since the Indian Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. On 27 June 1857, Kanpur (then spelled as Cawnpore) saw one of the grimmest stories of Indian history of independence. Around 300 British men, women and children were murdered at the Satti Chaura Ghat, later gaining identification as Massacre Ghat. Those who escaped the brutal fate that day were later killed at the [[Bibighar Massacre]]. The rebellion was believed to be led by the Peshwa Nana Sahib from which the Ghat was renamed as Nana Rao Ghat.
