Description
[edit]Dhurva Kunda is located in Mahottari district of Nepal. This place was the Ashram of Maharshi Dhurva. It is believed that Maharshi Dhurva was a devotee of Lord Vishnu. He performed meditation and turned into a celestial body, the brightest polar star, “Dhurva-tara”. It is said that Lord Rama, Lord Laxmana and the sage Vishwamitra paid a visit to Dhruva Kunda during Mithila Darshan.[5] Presently during the Mithila Madhya Parikrama, the Dhruva Kund is the seventh Paraw which comes on Shashthi day of the Parikrama. There is a temple known as Dhruva Mandir on the bank of Dhruva Kund.[6]
