Let's Go Together

Kamad Giri

Kamadgiri is the main holy place of Chitrakoot. The Sanskrit word 'Kamadgiri' means the mountain which fulfills all desires. The place is believed to have been the abode of Lord Ram, Sita and Laxman during their exile. The pilgrimage path around this hill is about 5 km. long, built by Pratap Kunwari, the Queen of Bundela King Maharaja Chhatrasal in 1725.

02Tulasidas Chitrakoot Ghaat

Let's Go Together

Tulasidas Chitrakoot Ghaat

It is the most beautiful bathing ghat of the Payaswini river, believed capable of absolving a person from all sins. Lord Ram bathed here with Laxman and Sita Ji on their arrival in Chitrakoot. Saint-poet Tulsidas also lived here and is believed to have had darshan of Ram and Laxman at this very spot.

03Mattagajendreshwar Swami

Let's Go Together

Mattagajendreshwar Swami

The famous temple of Mattagajendreshwar is situated on the Ramghat. According to a Pauranik legend, Brahma offered penance here in Satyug and founded a Shivling as Kshetrapal. When Sri Ram came to Chitrakoot, He performed Rudrabhishek here. Much later, Raja Aman Singh of Panna built a temple here.

04Raghav Prayag Ghat

Let's Go Together

Raghav Prayag Ghat

This is the convergence point of three rivers — the Payaswini, the Mandakini and the Gayatri. Lord Ram performed the pitra tarpan ceremony of his father King Dashrath here. It is believed that even the King of Teerths, Prayagraj, comes once every year to absolve himself by taking a dip here.

05Janaki Kund

Let's Go Together

Janaki Kund

This beautiful Kund is situated on the left bank of the Payaswini. 'Janaki' — the daughter of Raja Janak — is another name of Sita Ji, who used to bathe here during their exile. The rocks nearby bear the foot prints of Janaki Ji. The area also houses the Janaki Kund Eye Hospital and the Raghuvir Temple.

06Sphatik Shila

Let's Go Together

Sphatik Shila

'Sphatik' means a crystal in Sanskrit. There is a huge reddish-white crystal rock on the left bank of the Mandakini where Sri Ram and Sita Ji used to rest. When Jayant (son of Indra) pecked at Sita Ji's feet, Ram released an arrow at him — and the rock still bears the footprints of Sri Ram, Sita Ji and Jayant.

07Atri-Anasuya Ashram

Let's Go Together

Atri-Anasuya Ashram

About 15 km south of Ramghat in a dense forest, this ashram is dedicated to Maharshi Atri and Sati Anasuya. By her miraculous powers of penance, Sati Anasuya transformed Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva into small babes. She is also believed to have brought down the Mandakini, a streamlet of the Ganges.

08Gupt Godawari

Let's Go Together

Gupt Godawari

Situated at the foot of a hill about 12 km southwest of Chitrakoot, this is an incessant stream flowing between two rocks. Beautiful natural carvings in varied designs enhance the attraction of these mysterious caves. A number of local legends are associated with this extraordinary place.

09Ram Shaiyya

Let's Go Together

Ram Shaiyya

Near the Bihara village, about 3 km west of Pili Kothi Ashram, a huge rock carries imprints as though made by lying down on a mattress. These are believed to be the resting marks of Sri Ram and Sita Ji during their exile. Beside the two body marks, another mark made by placing the bow is also very clear.

10Lakshman Chowki

Let's Go Together

Lakshman Chowki

About 100 metres from Ram-Shaiyya and overlooking it, Lakshman used to be on guard here to protect Sri Ram and Sita Ji. This beautiful rock bears a mark resembling the head side of a bed and imprints of Lakshman sitting down with his bow. The Ram-Shaiyya rock is clearly visible from here.

11Hanuman Dhara

Let's Go Together

Hanuman Dhara

About 4 km east of Ramghat at the beginning of the Vindhyas, a stream of cool clear water originating inside the mountain falls on the idol of Hanuman Ji and loses itself in a kund below. Popular belief holds that Hanuman Ji came here to cool down the heat after burning Lanka.

12Valmiki Ashram

Let's Go Together

Valmiki Ashram

About 18 km from Chitrakoot on the Allahabad road, the Valmiki Ashram stands on a lofty hill on the bank of the Valmiki river.

13Sarbhang Ashram

Let's Go Together

Sarbhang Ashram

About 20 km southeast of Sati Anasuya Ashram, this sacred site has a Ganga-Kund and a Shiva Temple, with 108 Yagya Vedikas at the foot of the hill. Sri Ram accorded darshan to sage Sarbhang here. The saying is that one dip in the Sarbhang Ashram equals repeated bathing in the sacred Ganges.

14Bharat Koop

Let's Go Together

Bharat Koop

About 20 km west of Chitrakoot near Bharatpur village, this huge well is where Bharat brought water from all the holy places to anoint Ram as King during his exile. When Ram did not agree, Bharat — at the behest of Maharshi Atri — poured all this holy water into this very well.

15Lakshman Pahadi

Let's Go Together

Lakshman Pahadi

A small hillock parallel to Kamadgiri, about halfway in the Parikrama. Lakshman used to guard Sri Ram and Sita Ji from here while they rested on the Kamadgiri. There is a Lakshman Temple and a Lakshman-Stambh here — pilgrims embrace the pillar with the same reverence as if embracing Lakshman Ji himself.

16Sutikshna Ashram

Let's Go Together

Sutikshna Ashram

One of the most beautiful and charming sites in Bundelkhand. Ram appeared to Maharshi Sutikshna here in compliance of the latter's desire to have His darshan. A beautiful stream falls from amidst mountains into a kund below. It is a place frequented by many in search of mental peace and spiritual solace.

17Pramod Van

Let's Go Together

Pramod Van

About 2 km south of Ramghat on the Satna road, a beautiful grove sits on the bank of the Payaswini. A celebrated tree here, known as 'Putra-Jeeva' or 'Putrada,' is visited by childless couples with the desire of being blessed with a son — a popular belief that such visits bring the desired result.

18Bharat Milap

Let's Go Together

Bharat Milap

About halfway in the Parikrama Path, this is the reputed site where Bharat and his mothers met Sri Ram, Lakshman and Sita Ji during their exile. It was such a touching occasion that even stones melted owing to overwhelming emotions — and still carry their footprints to this day.

19Saryu Dhara

Let's Go Together

Saryu Dhara

Above the fourth Mukharvind of Kamtanath Ji, there is a small streamlet known as Saryu Dhara. Hanuman Ji is believed to live here, and a popular legend holds that Tulsidas used to recite the Ramayan here every day before him. Devotees feel spiritually charged after resting here a while.

20The Shabari Fall

Let's Go Together

The Shabari Fall

A beautiful spring near the origin of Payaswini — one spring just below another, this fall is unique in the entire country. Said to be more glamorous than even the Dhunwadhar Fall of Bhedaghat. A huge and very deep Mandakini Kund lies below. Discovered by the District Magistrate on July 31st, 1998 and dedicated to the public.

21Viradh Kund

Let's Go Together

Viradh Kund

A vast reservoir of water on the Amrawati Ashram road. According to popular belief, this kund reaches down to the Patal Lok. A terrible monster Viradh lived here and was killed by Sri Ram during his exile. Adventure-loving tourists will definitely be attracted to this mysterious and serene site.

Yagya Vedi

Near the Parn Kuti on the Ramghat, this is the sacred altar where Lord Brahma is said to have performed Yagyas — hence the name. A place of deep ancient significance sitting alongside the holy Ramghat, it draws pilgrims who seek to connect with Chitrakoot's primordial spiritual energy.

About 10 km southwest of Chitrakoot near village Pathra Pal Deo, this Ashram is situated amidst the hills. It is a beautiful place with waterfalls worth seeing. The site is associated with the legendary Raja Mayuradhwaj, whose story of unmatched devotion and sacrifice is an inspiration to all.
