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,
