Panchavati Ram Kund Ghat Sai

Jai Sai Sham

The Saibaba temple in Ram Kund Ghat - Triveni Sangam, Panchavati, Maharashtra was my 126th visit in December 2012. 

Although visited Panchavati in September 2010, fortunately Baba blessed with Darshan only in Dec 2012.

As the names says its a Kund (pond) on the river Godavari in Panchavati where Lord Ram is said to have taken bath. Its the place where one immerse the mortal remains (Arthi) and is said to be absorbed in the river quickly. It is also the place where according to Hindu rituals one performs Shrad's of their beloveds. At the very place is the sangam of three rivers Aruna, Varuna and the Godavari.

Aruna/Varuna is said to be coming from underneath whereas Godavari flows on top of them. Its here where the ashes of Mahatma Gandhi were immersed and to commorate the same Gandhi Memorial (the tall tower in the pic) was built along side the bank, underneath is where Idols of Shri Ram is installed. Just adjacent to Ram Kund is temple of Devi Ganga and Sai Baba temple.
