Amarkantak

Amarkantak is a great pilgrim centre for Hindus. Blessed by Nature, it is situated at a height of 3500 ft in the mountain ranges of Vindhya and Satpura. It is also the source of rivers Narmada flowing west and Sone towards east. In the breathtaking serene and natural surroundings, there exist holy ponds.

River Narmada has a unique legend attached to it. Lord Shiva blessed Narmada with purifying powers by mere sight of it. The other holy rivers of India require devotees to take a dip for different number of days to be blessed purification. The holiest of rivers, Ganga, also seeks Narmada’s blessings of purification.

Among all the sacred rivers of India, the Narmada occupies a unique place. Legend has it that Lord Shiva blessed Narmada with unique purifying powers. Whereas to purify himself, a devotee requires to take one dip in the Holy Ganga, seven days' prayers on the banks of Yamuna and three days prayers on the banks of Saraswati, the mere sight of Narmada is enough.

A charming folk tale describes the superiority of Narmada over Ganga. Once every year, after she herself is polluted beyond tolerance, Ganga visits Narmada dressed like a dark woman and takes a cleansing purifying dip in its waters! There are other rivers too, popular, romantic andlife sustaining, each glamourized in the folk lore and history but none can match the mystique of Narmada.
