Turturiya Springs
Sacred Waters: The Turturiya Springs, popularly known as Sursuri Ganga, are a perennial source of water that emerges from the hillside. The water flows through a narrow stone tunnel and falls into a sacred tank or 'Kund'. It is believed that this water has medicinal and spiritual properties. Devote es take a holy dip here before entering the temples. The constant flow of water even in peak summer is considered a miracle. Historical Engineering: The spring water is channeled through an ancient cow's mouth (Gomukh) sculpture. This setup is centuries old and shows the advanced water management of the past. The tank where the water collects is built with ancient burnt bricks. It is a serene spot where the only sound is the constant gurgle of water. Cultural Significance: This spring is the reason for the settlement's existence and its religious importance. It is said that Sage Valmiki used this water for his daily rituals. The spring symbolizes the eternal presence of the divine in nature. It remains the most visited part of the Turturiya complex.
