Sonemuda
Amarkantak, Chhattisgarh, India
Sonemuda is a picturesque point that marks the origin of the Son River, a major tributary of the Ganges. The name "Sonemuda" translates to "golden mouth," a reference to the golden hue of the sand and stones at the river's source. This site is revered for its spiritual significance as the birthplace of another holy river. The area offers a panoramic view of the Son River valley and the Maikal hills. It is a tranquil spot, perfect for a peaceful walk and quiet contemplation. There is a small temple dedicated to the river god and a platform from where visitors can witness the stunning sunrise.
