Exploring Lord Ram's Exile Journey in Chitrakoot | India Darshan Ep 153 | The Rustic Wanderer

In Episode 153 of the India Darshan travel series, I explored Chitrakoot, where Lord Ram, Mata Sita, and Lakshman spent 11 of their 14 years of exile. This holy town holds deep connections to the Ramayana and is surrounded by natural beauty and serene spirituality. I began with Gupt Godavari, a sacred cave with twin narrow pathways and a hidden stream. It is believed that Lord Ram and Lakshman held meetings here during their exile. The tranquility of this spot and its spiritual aura make it a must-visit.

Next, I visited Sati Anusuiya Ashram, a peaceful retreat in the forest associated with Maharishi Atri and his wife Anusuiya. This ashram is where Anusuiya shared the importance of devotion and austerity with Mata Sita. The serene Mandakini River flows beside it, enhancing its spiritual charm. Moving on, I stopped at Spatik Shila, a picturesque rock formation where Lord Ram and Mata Sita are said to have rested. The spot offers peace and calm with the soft murmur of the flowing Mandakini.

I also visited Janki Kund, believed to be the bathing spot of Mata Sita. The crystal-clear waters and the calm surroundings make this place deeply sacred. Then, I trekked to Hanuman Dhara, a temple situated on a hill where Lord Hanuman rested after burning Lanka. The views from the top are breathtaking and worth the climb. Finally, I completed the Kamadgiri Hill Prikrama, a sacred 5 km path that devotees circumambulate. The entire area resonates with devotion and faith, making it one of the most spiritually charged places in Chitrakoot.

Each of these sites reflects a chapter of Lord Ram's life during his exile and offers devotees a chance to connect deeply with their faith. Chitrakoot is not just a pilgrimage destination but also a spiritual and historical journey into the Ramayana. Join me in this episode as I explore the divine and tranquil beauty of this sacred town! Stay tuned for the next adventure!
