It is believed that Lord Ram bathed here in the river with Laxman and Sita Ji For that reason Chitrakoot takes on one of the most important pilgrim places in India. A place I knew very little about until stumbling there two years ago on the eve of the Sita Ram festival.
Around the base of the holy Kamadgiri mountain runs an 8 kms walking path. Pilgrims after bathing in the ghats walk the 8 Kms. (parikrama) So did we, twice. The path of course has to be walked barefooted and along the 8 kms circular pathway are small temples devoted to Rama, Brahma, Vishnu and their incarnations.
Here a small temple devoted to Hanuman an devotee of Rama.
