Chitrakoot

Chitrakoot, 'the hill of many wonders', nestles peacefully in the northern spurs of the Vindhyas. This loveliest of nature's gifts is also hallowed ground, blessed by the gods and sanctified by the faith of pilgrims. A city with more than legendary significance, it was the abode of Lord Ram and Sita for eleven year when in exile, the place where Sage Atri and Sati Anusuya meditated, the divine spot saw the incarnations of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. This holy city is dotted with innumerable temples and shrines today.





Witness the magnificent Chitrakote falls cascading down rock faces and you would never need to cross the seven seas to watch the Niagara falls or watch the 100 ft high Tirathgarh falls. The horse shaped Chitrakote waterfall spawns the river Indravati. Christened the ' Nigara of India' the spary from the tumbling waterfall breaks out into vibrant colours splashed across the sky in the form of a permanent rainbow.
