Satna District. This picturesque spot is famous for its two massive rocks which are believed to have the footprints of
Lord Ram. It is located within a short distance beyond
Janaki kund, on the banks of the Mandakini River. According to legend it was here that Sita was pecked at by Jayant, son of
Lord Indra, in the form of a crow.
