About 4kms. Away from Sphatikshila is the hermitage of Sage Atri
and Anasuya, surrounded by dense
jungles. The peace and tranwquility is occasionally disturbed by
the sound of wild animals. The ashram contains the statues of Anasuya,
Atri, Dattatreya and Durvasa Muni.
Gupt - Godavari
A natural wonder, the Gupt - Godavari caves are at a distance of
9.66 km, from Anasuya Atri -Ashram. In the heart of a dark cave
is a tank which is perpetually fed by asmall stream of water. This
tank which is known as 'Sitakund' is not too deep. Gushing out of
the cave into two tanks outsde, the water disappeares suddenly,
creating an aura of mystery.
Bharat Koop
To attain Salvation, the pilgrimage to Chitrakoot is incomplete
without a visit to this hallowed place of worship. It is said that,
to crown Lord Rama as the king of Ayodhya, his brother Bharat collected
the waters of all the sacred rivers to anoint him with. On the advice
of Sage Atri, the waters were later pured into a deep well popularly
known as Bharat Koop. A temple dedicated to Lord Rama is also found
here.
Jankikund
On the banks of the River Mandakini, bathed in a golden hue is the
Jankikund, where Sita took her ceremonal every morning.
Sphatikshila
Situated around 1.5 miles from Jankikund, on the banks of River
Paisuni is the Sphatikshila where Ram & Sita used to sit and
watch the beauty of the serene surroundings. It is also said that
at this place, Jayant, Son of Lord indra, in the guise of a crow,
has attacked and pecked Sita.
