Jharna Kund Dham
Sub Place Details: Jharna Kund Dham is a picturesque spot that perfectly blends natural beauty with religious fervor. The name literally means "Waterfall Pond," centered around a perennial natural spring that cascades down into a sacred pool. A Shivaling is situated right at the spot where the water falls, creating a natural 'Abhishekam' (ritual bathing) of the deity. The site is surrounded by dense foliage and rocky outcrops, making it a popular picnic spot for locals and a spiritual retreat for pilgrims. The tranquil sound of falling water combined with the ringing of temple bells provides a unique sensory experience.
