Loved the serenity of this place, very neat and clean and when there is breeze blowing over and around this place this itself becomes the "Jannat", very soothing place is the Sita Vatika.
It is a small garden to relax and spend some good time in nature's lap beside a hillock. It is very good fir health 😊

Sita Devi performed the pind-daan offering to King Dasharatha at Sita Kund in Gaya. It is one of the most significant holy sites in Gaya and is situated on the eastern bank of the Falgu river in the Indian state of Bihar.

Lord Rama and Lakshmana had also planted their lotus feet here, in addition to Sita Devi. Although there are Sita Kunds in other places, such as the one in Munger, Bihar, the Sita Kund in Gaya has a unique personality all its own.

Here, beneath the sand on the banks of the Falgu river, the Gupt Ganga river runs. The Gupt Ganga’s holy waters can be viewed by making a small hole in the sand with your bare hands.

The statue of Sita Devi and King Dasharatha’s hand accepting a pinda can be found in the Sita Kunda historical shrine. King Dasharatha is holding one pinda while keeping the other two pindas by the side. As you enter the main gate from the ghat on the Falgu river bank, the temple is to your left.

Beautiful and serene place with quite flowing river. Often the stream is thin throughout the year but becomes wide and huge during the rainy season.

Beautiful small temple and well maintained parking area.

Sita Kund(Ramgaya ) holy site for Hindus. It is just located east of vishnupad temple and back of falgu river.
In sita kund also notice a Ancient nagara temple.This temple is built in Triratha/Nagar style. This Temple Belong to post Gupta period (उत्तरगुप्तकालीन ) and time to Rebuilt it but sadly This Temple now on the verge of extinction. The inscription of Mahendra Pal was found here, in architecture very similar to the Mahabodhi temple(Bodhgaya Bihar), now only the remains of the Trirath style post-Gupta temple are left.
This temple is situated on the Ramgaya hill (Now Nagkut)of Gaya on the eastern side of Falgu river in front of Vishnupad temple.The plan, top, tower, door frame prove its antiquity. The architecture of the temple looks similar to the Mahabodhi temple. The carvings are also visible on the upper part of the pillars of the portico. Based on this plan and record of temple construction, this temple is of ninth century(1100 Year Old). According to Cunningham there a also Plate of Dasavatara. Few Century ago this Temple worship ago As shiva Temple.

Situated on the bank of River Falgu, on the opposite side of Vishnupad Temple, lies Sita Kund. It is believed to be the spot where Sita Devi performed the ritual of pinda-daan for king Dashratha, her father-in-law and a small temple stands there now. Another legend says that this is the spot where the goddess took a bath before going into exile for 14 years with her husband, Lord Rama, and brother-in-law, Lord Lakshmana. Tourists can also visit nearby shrines dedicated to Lord Rama, Lord Hanuman, Goddess Sita and Goddess Durga and pay obeisance to the deities. Today, this pond is a significant spiritual site, where devotees come to soak in sacred vibes and admire tranquil surroundings. There are also temples and Idols of Maa Kali, Surya Dev, Maa Durga and others.

The city has changed, and so is this place. I remember in childhood this place used to be a place where no one visits because no roads were connecting this, and this was a place for hiding illegal arms and marijuana centre.
Now this place offers perfect connectivity, is a pilgrim, and a place for tik-tockers. I was delighted to see a well-cleaned park where many youngsters were making YouTube and ticktock videos around. This place has an impressive river view. At night there is an excellent arrangement for lights too.

A very beautiful place, very graceful place. It shows the iconic history of Sita. It is situated on the bank of falgu river where Sita has done "Pind Daan" for the salvation of the soul of Raja Dasharath who was the father of Lord Ram and Father in law of Sita

Located on river bank having beautiful sandstone ghats. The temple complex is renovated. It is place where Ram Sita gave pind daan for Dasharath. The temple has a forearm jutting out from ground depicting Dashrath taking pind. It is an important temple of Gaya.

This an amazing place for the peace of soul . You will feel soo calm here.
And this place has a hestoric story which is true. So this is also a hestoric place.
According to hindu methology sita mata did the "PINND DAAN" here of his father-in-law during that time so you can think that how ! historic place this is. You can came here with your family, friend. You should come here at least once in the evening. You will feel real peace here .
During "PITAR PAKASH MELA" this place is crowded but clean. People came here for PINND DAAN of their ansastors.
This is situated at the bank of falgu river and opposite to the Vishnu pad temple .
People also come here at the time of "CHHAT PUJA" to celebrate .

Sita kund is the side of falgu river, Devi Sita is the consort of Lord Rama who is Lord Vishnu's seventh avatar. She is the central character of the most prominent epic of Hindu history Ramayana written by Maharshi Valmiki. Sita is the epitome of how a female figure should be. Even after spending fourteen good long years in exile Sita never complained about the tough times in her life. Known for her loyalty and devotion towards her husband Sita is that one woman in Indian history who stands as an inspiration for women of all age groups.Did you know that despite committing such devotion she had an unfortunate end? According to an article by Speaking Tree, Devi Sita went down into the earth. She did not want to live in this unjust life and pleaded 'bhumi' (earth) to accept her, and her plea was even heard, the earth dramatically split open and took Sita away.

We have listed down some facts that most of us don't know about Goddess Sita.

The name 'Sita' has been derived from a Sanskrit word meaning, 'furrow', to indicate her being found by King Janaka while plowing the field. In the Vedic period, she was one of the Goddesses associated with fertility.

A fascinating reality about Sita Devi is that she is additionally thought to be a resurrection of Vedavati, whom Ravana had attempted to attack while she was under atonement, in order to become the consort of Lord Vishnu.
