Chitrakoot
(
General Information )
Chitrakoot,
'the hill of many wonders', nestles peacefully in the northern spurs
of the Vindhyas. This loveliest of nature's gifts is also hallowed
ground, blessed by the gods and sanctified by the faith of pilgrims.
A city with more than legendary significance, it was the abode of
Lord Ram and Sita for eleven year when in exile, the place where
Sage Atri and Sati Anusuya meditated, the divine spot saw the incarnations
of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. This holy city is dotted with innumerable
temples and shrines today.
Sufferers
and seekers, poets and visionaries, princes and noblemen have, through
the ages, sought and found solace in Chitrakoot.
