Bharat Mandir/ Bharat Kund, Nandigram, Ayodhya

During Lord Ram's 14-year exile, his devoted brother Bharat refused to claim the throne. Instead, he placed Ramchandra ji's wooden sandals (Charan Paduka) on the royal seat and governed the kingdom as an ascetic from Nandigram.

A closer look at the padukas

While carrying the Dronagiri mountain with the Sanjeevani booti (herbs) to save Lakshman, Hanuman flew over Nandigram near Ayodhya. Bharat saw a giant figure in the sky, mistook him for a demon and shot an arrow. Hanuman fell to the ground chanting "Ram, Ram". Hearing the divine name, Bharat rushed to him, and learned about Ram's victory in Lanka and the condition of Lakshman. This historic meeting is commemorated at the Hanuman Bharat Milan Mandir located in Bharatkund,

Bharat performed his daily ritual baths and austere penance at the large sacred pond known as Bharat Kund.

The location also houses temples commemorating the emotional reunion of Ram, Bharat, and Hanuman upon Ram's return from exile.
