Travel Tips Of 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.

Tourism Tips

Health & Safety: The hot spring water is around 60°C. Exercise extreme caution when entering the water, especially with children. Follow the rules and use the railings. Be aware of pickpockets during the crowded Mela.

Packing Essentials: Carry a towel and a change of clothes if you plan to take a holy dip. Dress modestly, covering your shoulders and knees, as it is a major religious site. Carry a plastic bag for wet clothes.

Accommodation:

Accommodation is available in Munger city. The village around Sita Kund offers very basic lodging, mostly used by pilgrims during the Mela.

Respect and Culture: Observe the temple etiquette. Photography should be done with respect for the rituals being performed.

Avoid drinking the hot spring water directly.:
