How To Reach Sita Kund

Munger, Bihar, India:
Sita Kund is a profoundly sacred Hindu pilgrimage site and a unique natural wonder located about 6 kilometers east of Munger town. Its fame rests entirely on its mythological connection to the epic Ramayana. Local traditions and the site's folklore hold that after Goddess Sita was rescued from Lanka , she underwent the Agni Pariksha (trial by fire) to prove her purity. She emerged unharmed, but her body had absorbed immense heat. To cool and purify herself, she bathed in a pool at this location. It is believed that the very heat of her divine body, or the divine grace resulting from the trial, caused the spring to erupt as a hot spring, maintaining a constant temperature of around 60°C to this day. The site features the central, enclosed Sita Kund (the hot spring), an adjacent ancient temple dedicated to Rama and Sita, and a nearby reservoir of cold water known as Ram Kund. This striking difference in temperature between the two adjacent water bodies is a unique natural phenomenon, driven by deep-seated geothermal activity along the Munger-Saharsa Ridge Fault zone. It is a major pilgrimage center, particularly during the Maghi Purnima Mela.
