The other two pilgrimages, which are held around the same period, revolve around historically important and religiously significant temple of Gupt Ganga and Vasukinag. The Gupt Ganga temple is said to be connected with Pandavas. It is said that during Agyatvas, Pandavas spent a few days here in the land of snakes. A big foot print can be seen on one of the rocks of this temple and it is attributed to be that of "Bhim Sen". The temple of Vasukinag, has single stone piece idol of lord Vasukinag, belonging to 11th century. These fairs/festivals/yatras and celebrations hold a bright promise for good pilgrim tourism. |
