Famous Ramkund on Godavari river dries up

Nashik, Apr 7 (UNI) Ramkund, the ghat on the river Godavari where hundreds of pilgrims take a holy dip during the Kumbh Mela, has dried up for the first time in past 130 years due to drought this year.
Ramkund is the spot where the river Godavari turns to right at an angle of 90 degrees. It has gained importance as Lord Ram is said to have taken his daily bath here during his stay at Nashik.
Another significance of this 'kund' is that the 'asthis' (mortal remains) immersed here are immediately absorbed in the water.
