Anasuya - Atri Ashram

About 4kms. Away from Sphatikshila is the hermitage of Sage Atri and Anasuya, surrounded by dense jungles. The peace and tranwquility is occasionally disturbed by the sound of wild animals. The ashram contains the statues of Anasuya, Atri, Dattatreya and Durvasa Muni.

Gupt - Godavari

A natural wonder, the Gupt - Godavari caves are at a distance of 9.66 km, from Anasuya Atri -Ashram. In the heart of a dark cave is a tank which is perpetually fed by asmall stream of water. This tank which is known as 'Sitakund' is not too deep. Gushing out of the cave into two tanks outsde, the water disappeares suddenly, creating an aura of mystery.

Bharat Koop

To attain Salvation, the pilgrimage to Chitrakoot is incomplete without a visit to this hallowed place of worship. It is said that, to crown Lord Rama as the king of Ayodhya, his brother Bharat collected the waters of all the sacred rivers to anoint him with. On the advice of Sage Atri, the waters were later pured into a deep well popularly known as Bharat Koop. A temple dedicated to Lord Rama is also found here.

Jankikund

On the banks of the River Mandakini, bathed in a golden hue is the Jankikund, where Sita took her ceremonal every morning.

Sphatikshila

Situated around 1.5 miles from Jankikund, on the banks of River Paisuni is the Sphatikshila where Ram & Sita used to sit and watch the beauty of the serene surroundings. It is also said that at this place, Jayant, Son of Lord indra, in the guise of a crow, has attacked and pecked Sita.
