This loveliest of nature's gifts is also hallowed ground, blessed by the gods
and sanctified by the faith of pilgrims. For Chitrakoot's spiritual legacy stretches

eleven of their fourteen years of exile; here, that the great sage Atri and
Sati Anusuya meditated; and here where the principal trinity of the Hindu pantheon,
Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, took their incarnations.
Sufferers and seekers, poets and visionaries, princes and noblemen have, through
the ags, sought and founds solace in Chitrakoot, drawn inspiration from its
sublime natural beauty, gained spiritual strength from its serene temples and,
in turn, become part of the hallowed legend that is Chitrakoot. Chitrakoot ,

Vindhyas, a place of tranquil forest glades and quiet rivers, and streams where
clam and repose are all-pervading.
