About Sita Kund Hot Spring
A hot spring about 6 km east of Munger, said to have taken its heat from Sita when she bathed here after her fire ordeal. The main kund steams even on a warm day, while the Ram, Lakshman and Bharat kunds beside it stay cold. The Magh Purnima mela in January or February is the busiest time, and winter is when the hot water is most welcome.
What to see and do
- The steaming Sita Kund
- Cold Ram, Lakshman and Bharat kunds
