Sati Anusuya Ashram
सती अनुसूया आश्रम
An ashram in the forest upstream of the Mandakini River, commemorating the sage Atri and the virtuous wife Anusuya. The surroundings are serene.
Set in forest about 16 km south of Ram Ghat, legend says the sage Atri and his wife Anusuya practiced asceticism here. Anusuya's ascetic power brought the Mandakini River into being. The temple complex is a multi-level colorful building housing sculptures that depict Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva transformed into infants. The surrounding forest and river make it much quieter than the city, and you can rest briefly by the river. It is usually visited on a chartered route together with Gupt Godavari Caves and Sphatik Shila.
