About Shravan Kshetra
The place where, in the Ramayana, King Dashrath's arrow killed Shravan Kumar as he fetched water for his blind parents, and earned the king his own curse. There is a samadhi, a few temples and a tank, and a fair around Kartik Purnima. Modest, but everyone in the district knows the story.
What to see and do
- Shravan Kumar's samadhi
- Temples by the tank
- Kartik Purnima fair
