Dharkundi

According to the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the conversation between ‘Yudhishthira and Daksha’ took place at Dharkundi Kund, now known as “Aghamarshan Kund.” This Kund is situated between the Sri Paramhansa Ashram and Dharkundi in the Satpura hill forest. Aghamarshan Kund is approximately 100 meters below ground level. The name Dharkundi is derived from two words, “dhara” and “kundi”, meaning ‘stream of water’ and ‘pond,’ respectively. This place features an ever-flowing, pristine water stream that doesn’t let the water level here to drop (i.e., no water shortage) due to the dense jungles of the Vindhya mountain range. Due to this continuous flowing water stream, a water tank has been formed here. The beauty of Dharkundi, located amid thick jungles, and its rare natural sights, deep caves, and precipitous rocks make it a place worth exploring.
