Basistha Ashram
Dispur, Assam, India
Basistha Ashram is a serene and historically significant ashram nestled amidst lush greenery and tranquil surroundings, on the outskirts of Dispur. It is believed to have been the hermitage of the revered Hindu sage Maharishi Vashistha, a prominent figure in ancient Indian scriptures, particularly the Ramayana. The ashram's spiritual ambiance, combined with its picturesque natural setting, makes it a popular spot for both pilgrims and those seeking peace and quiet away from the city's hustle. The ashram complex includes a beautiful Lord Shiva temple, built by the Ahom King Rajeswar Singha in the 18th century, which is a major draw for devotees. The sacred confluence of the three small streams originating from the Garo Hills (Sandhya, Lalita, and Kanta) forms a natural waterfall and creates a spiritually charged environment. Visitors often take a dip in these holy waters. The ashram is also surrounded by dense forests, making it a habitat for various species of birds and occasional wildlife, adding to its natural charm. Exploring the nearby caves associated with Sage Vashistha, which are believed to have been his meditation spots, offers a glimpse into ancient ascetic practices. The calm and spiritual atmosphere, coupled with the natural beauty of the waterfalls and the surrounding forests, makes Basistha Ashram a truly refreshing and enriching experience for spiritual seekers, nature lovers, and anyone interested in ancient Indian heritage. It provides a peaceful retreat and a connection to ancient wisdom.
