Chitrakoot, also known popularly as the Hill of Many Wonders, is a small religious town in the state of Uttar Pradesh with an awe-inspiring spiritual legacy. Chitrakoot is a beautiful town located at the banks of river Mandakini or the Paishwani river. The town has special significance in Hindu mythology. According to ancient scriptures, Chitrakoot is the place of the incarnation of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Mahesh.
According to an ancient anecdote, Lord Rama, Goddess Sita, and Lakshman from the epic Ramayana spent about 11 years in Chitrakoot during the 14-year period of exile. They also met Sati Anasuya and Hermit Atri amidst the lush green forests of Chitrakoot. Various gods and goddesses are believed to visit Chitrakoot to meet Lord Rama as he performed the final rites for his father. Lord Rama refused to leave the place as he was utterly mesmerised by its natural beauty. Legend has it that the priest Vashishta also forgot to complete the immersion chant mesmerised by the surroundings. It is believed that Gods decided to reside in the town permanently. Goswami Tulsidas, the famous poet also witnessed Lord Rama in Chitrakoot after pleading to Lord Hanuman.
