Kunds: Intrinsically Connected with Lord Rama

Kunds: Intrinsically Connected with Lord Rama Apart from the Ram Mandir, Ayodhya is set for an unprecedented and massive transformation in the coming years with over 200 mega projects underway.  This translates into a development of over INR 30,000 crores which is all set to make Ayodhya one of the most beautiful and happening cities of the world.  While the Ayodhya Ram temple is literally the heart and the soul of the town, the city is also known for its legendary ponds which are locally known as Kunds.  They are scattered across the city and have immense mythological importance.  Revered by sadhus, travellers and locals alike, there are several fairs and festivals centred around these kunds.  They are intrinsically associated with the life of Lord Rama and his brothers and taking a dip in them is considered to be very auspicious.  Bharata kund, Dantdhawan kund, Khajuha kund and Surya Kund are some of the most significant and popular ponds of the city.  The Surya Kund is situated in Darshan Bazar near Ayodhya and is believed to have been constructed bying ‘Darshan’ who is said to be the descendant of Lord Rama.  The Surya temple close by attracts locals, tourists as well as pilgrims from far and wide.
