A pond of stories
The hallowed waters of Sita Kund hold within their depths a tapestry of legends woven into Hindu mythology. According to the timeless lore that echoes through these hallowed grounds, it was upon this very spot that Mother Sita, the embodiment of devotion, offered the sacred Pind Daan (a Hindu ritual practised for the departed souls of one’s ancestors) in reverence to her noble father-in-law, Maharaj Dashrath. Whispers of another tale speak of Mother Sita's journey into exile with Lord Rama and his brother Lakshmana. It was here, within the embrace of the kund's waters, that the virtuous consort of Lord Rama immersed herself in a purification ritual. A humble temple stands silently as a witness to these divine narratives, a constant reminder of the profound reverence that has permeated the air of Sita Kund since time immemorial.
