BUXAR

August 08- Saturday. BUXAR

Morning we finishes our breakfast and make a darshan of  BRIGHU MUNI ASHRAM  which is situated near the police chowk about 2 km from bus stand. Vishal mega mall opp. Sri Rama visited this place while he was guarding Viswamitra’s yagnam(Rama guarded 5 yojanas on all sides ) in Siddhasram.

Shree Kameshwar Dham "Rani Pokhra"

From Ballia towards to reach a village called chitbaragaon, take left from there and travel 6 KMs to reach a beautiful Arch(Karown) which is Kameshwar Dham. When we come inside we can see Kamashram. It has a beautiful huge tank.

Coming back to the ashram, its very large tank has water that is clean, very sweet and quite cold. As we enter the ashram, there is a large shiva temple, an anjaneya sannidhi, a sannidhi of Rama’s footprints. And also a bhavani sannidhi. There are trees all around and we seem to be the only bunch of people out to destroy the tranquility of this place.

Temple at Ram Rekha Ghat

The Ram Rekha ghat has to go through a busy market place to reach it. However before we reach the ghat, we find a small temple at Ram Rekha Ghat.  

  The 1^st sannidhi on the left is that of Vishwakarma. It is again an enclosed place within this compound. Further there is a sannidhi for Rama, Lakshmana & Sita. Then one goes further down underground to a flight of stairs, where there is a sannidhi of 4 faced Brahma. This seems like a very old vigraham and the features are not clearly defined.

The next sannidhi just above at ground level, is that of Vishwamitra. As we do a pradakshina of the temple, one can see the Ganges and its from this temple.

Nuv Lakh mandir( Vaikuntanathar Kovil )

This temple can be approached for accommodation and food arrangements.

Followed to next street Trithandi jeeyar mutt is there. At the end of the street near to the banks of ganga Sri lakshmi narayan mandir we have a beautiful rama darshan

Tatakavan: It is behind the Naulakha temple. Where Rama killed Tadaka. It becomes now private property. Nobody allowed inside this place. At the compound wall we had a darshan of an empty ground.

Siddhasramam (Vaman Ashram ) which is located about 3 kms from railway station. This is inside central jail.We didn’t have any problem in getting inside. Vaman Avatar took place here.
