Gaurītīrtha (गौरीतीर्थ) is the name of a sacred lake (tīrtha) situated in Śobhāvatī, as mentioned in the sixth story of the Vetālapañcaviṃśati in the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 80. Accordingly, “... and in that city [Śobhāvatī] there was a splendid temple of Gaurī, and to the south of it there was a lake, called Gaurītīrtha. And every year, during a feast on the fourteenth day of the white fortnight of the month Āṣāḍha, large crowds came there to bathe from every part of the world”.
