Chitrakoot
, 'the hill of many wonders,'
nestles peacefully in the
northern spurs of the Vindhyas,
a place of tranquil forest
glades and quiet rivers, and
streams where clam and repose
are all-pervading. This
loveliest of nature's gifts is
also hallowed ground, blessed by
the gods and sanctified by the
faith of pilgrims. For
Chitrakoot's spiritual legacy
stretches back to legendary
ages: it was in these deep
forests that Rama and Sita spent
eleven of their fourteen years
of exile; here, that the great
sage Atri and Sati Anusuya
meditated; and here where the
principal trinity of the Hindu
pantheon, Brahma, Vishnu and
Mahesh, took their incarnations.
Sufferers and seekers, poets and
visionaries, princes and
noblemen have, through the ags,
sought and founds solace in
Chitrakoot, drawn inspiration
from its sublime natural beauty,
gained spiritual strength from
its serene temples and, in turn,
become part of the hallowed
legend that is Chitrakoot.
