During the preparations for the 2025 Mahakumbh, CM Yogi Adityanath oversaw the construction of a grand corridor, a large statue, and Nishad Raj Park at this sacred site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shringverpur: Associated with Lord Shri Ram Even Before His Birth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The connection between Shringverpur Dham and Shri Ram dates back to before his birth. The Ramayana recounts that King Dasharatha invited Sage Shringi to Ayodhya on Sage Vashishtha\u2019s advice to perform the Putrakameshti Yagna, which blessed the king with four sons\u2014Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna. As Sage Shringi meditated here, the region came to be called Shringverpur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ramayana also mentions that Lord Shri Ram\u2019s sister, Shanta, was married to Sage Shringi. Even today, a temple dedicated to Sage Shringi and Mother Shanta exists at Shringverpur, where devotees pray for progeny.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-268-1024x480.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27203\" style=\"width:558px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-268-1024x480.png 1024w, https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-268-300x141.png 300w, https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-268-768x360.png 768w, https:\/\/mavericknews30.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-268.png 1040w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shringverpur Dham: The Meeting Place of Lord Shri Ram and Nishad Raj<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shringverpur Dham is the historic site where Shri Ram met his childhood friend, Nishad Raj. According to the Valmiki Ramayana and Tulsidas\u2019s Ramcharitmanas, Shri Ram first reached Shringverpur after leaving Ayodhya for his exile. Nishad Raj hosted him, convincing him to spend the night there. The village of the Kevats (boatmen) is still known as Ramchaura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Near the Ganga River\u2019s banks lies Ram Shayan Ashram, where it is believed Shri Ram, Sita, and Lakshman stayed overnight. From the ghats of Shringverpur, Nishad Raj ferried Shri Ram across the Ganga in his boat and escorted him to Sage Bharadwaj\u2019s ashram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>CM Yogi\u2019s Initiative for Shringverpur\u2019s Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the guidance of CM Yogi Adityanath, Shringverpur Dham was beautified and a grand corridor was built for the 2025 Mahakumbh at a cost of \u20b914 crore. A 52-foot statue commemorating Shri Ram and Nishad Raj\u2019s friendship and a park were constructed, inaugurated by PM Modi during his recent visit to Prayagraj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, murals depicting Shri Ram\u2019s arrival were created at the Ganga River\u2019s banks, including Sandhya and Ramchaura ghats. Nishad Raj Park features scenes of Shri Ram\u2019s journey, while the tourism department has introduced facilities like a facility center and home-stay services for pilgrims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shringverpur Dham: The Place Where Lord Shri Ram Crossed the Ganga River During His Exile Mahakumbhnagar: Prayagraj is one of the oldest cities in Sanatan culture, holding a special place in texts like the Rigveda, Puranas, Ramayana, and Mahabharata.
