Tucked away in Munger, Bihar, Sita Kund emerges as a spiritual gem intertwined with epic lore. Also known as Ram Tirath, this sanctuary marks the legendary site of Sita’s Agni Pariksha, where she affirmed her purity and a perpetual hot spring burst forth from the soil—its heat unwaning through ages.
Just 8 km from district HQ in Naubagari North Panchayat, the main Sita Kund bubbles invitingly warm around the clock, shrugging off winter’s grip. Companion pools named for Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna offer cooler dips, spotlighting the central anomaly.
Year-round visitors seek the waters’ blessings, yet Magha month ignites the Sita Kund Mela. Kicking off February 1, 2026, for 30 days with fresh state fair status, it becomes a massive congregation of faith—healing baths, elaborate pujas, and communal joy echoing Ram-Sita devotion.
Science scratches its head over the scalding flow. The 20-foot by 20-foot, 12-foot-deep basin evades explanation despite expert expeditions. Theories abound—from underground heat vents to miraculous origins—but none stick. In this interplay of myth and inquiry, Sita Kund thrives as Bihar’s enigmatic heart, where history simmers eternally, beckoning the faithful to witness divinity in action.
