Why This Place Matters
The cradle of civilization. It is believed Lord Brahma launched the creation of the universe from this sacred water body. A holy dip here during solar eclipse is said to equal the merit of a thousand Ashwamedha Yagnas.
Mahabharata Connection
This is where Lord Brahma performed the primordial Yajna at the beginning of creation. During the Mahabharata era, the Pandavas took a sacred bath here before the great war. Bathing in these waters purifies the soul of all sins.
