Chitrakoot , 'the hill of many wonders,' nestles peacefully in the northern
spurs of the Vindhyas, a place of tranquil forest glades and quiet rivers, and
streams where clam and repose are all-pervading. This loveliest of nature's
gifts is also hallowed ground, blessed by the gods and sanctified by the faith
of pilgrims.
For Chitrakoot's spiritual legacy stretches back to legendary ages: it was in
these deep forests that Rama and Sita spent eleven of their fourteen years of
exile; here, that the great sage Atri and Sati Anusuya meditated; and here where
the principal trinity of the Hindu pantheon, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, took
their incarnations. Sufferers and seekers, poets and visionaries, princes and
noblemen have, through the ags, sought and founds solace in Chitrakoot, drawn
inspiration from its sublime natural beauty, gained spiritual strength from
its serene temples and, in turn, become part of the hallowed legend that is
Chitrakoot.
