THEN
- “Sita-Kund” is one Place, which puts Munger, a district in Bihar, as a most
visited place. This place has always been the one, which creates a lot of
inquisitiveness among the visitors. The place is situated 6 kms east of the
Munger town. It contains hot springs known as Sita Kund, besides this, there is
a Hindu temple and to the north is a reservoir of cold water, known as Ramkund,
while to the west there were three more pools named after the three brothers of
Rama, namely Lakshman Kund, Bharat Kund, and Shatrughan Kund.
NOW
- Sita after being rescued form Lanka and returned to Ayodhya, Rama asked Sita
to prove her chastity in public and she gladly agreed to the Agni Pareeksha
(the fire ordeal). She came out of the fire test unscatched and imparted the
heat of her body to the pool in which she bathed. The hot spring is now an
enclosed and grilled reservoir and is visited by a large number of pilgrims on
the full moon day of Magh Maasa. The water is beautifully clear and transparent
and sends up numerous bubbles from its rocky bed
