To unveil the story behind the importance of this Valmiki Ashram, Sita came to this hillock to stay during her exile after being expelled from the kingdom by Lord Rama. It is this ashram where Sita gave birth to her twin sons Luv and Kush. It is from this ashram that Sita disappeared into the lap of Mother Earth when requested by Rama to come back to the kingdom.
Since the ashram is on a hillock, it offers a beautiful view of the city and the surroundings. For all nature lovers and those interested in learning new facts about Indian Mythology, the Valmiki Ashram is a place to visit!
