About Panchavati & Ramkund
Panchavati is the riverside quarter tied to the Ramayana, where Rama, Sita and Lakshman are believed to have stayed. Ramkund is the central bathing tank where pilgrims immerse ashes and take a holy dip; the surrounding ghats come alive at dawn and dusk with aartis. It is the core snan (bathing) zone during the Kumbh.
