Ram Lakhan Tungri
Sub Place Details: Ram Lakhan Tungri is a site of immense historical and mythological importance located in the Kumhari village of Chas block.

This small hill, or "Tungri," is believed to bear the footprints of Lord Rama, making it a sacred pilgrimage site. The area is enveloped in natural beauty, with rolling hills and dense vegetation that transport visitors back to the era of the Treta Yug. The atmosphere is deeply spiritual, and the site offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. Devotees visit throughout the year to pay homage at the spot where the divine footprints are located, known locally as Pakaha Dahake. It is a place where mythology breathes through the rocks and trees, offering a unique blend of adventure and devotion for every traveler.
