Holy Bath in Ridi Gandaki Nepal Ruru Kshetra

Ridi Gandaki (Ruru) is holy place of Nepal. There is a beautiful story about the sanctity of Ridi and origin of the deity Rishikesh. It is said that in ancient times there lived a Brahmin named Devdutta. He meditated for a long time, but the Indra for some reason or the other wanted to bread his meditation and accordingly sent for Kamdev, spring season, Divine singers and Angels and orderd them to go to Devdutt’s ashram. They were ordered by Indra to cast a spell on Devdutta and thus break his meditation. They came to Devdutta’s beautiful hut, and in their different ways tried to distract him. The beautiful Pramalocha with other beautiful singers from heaven burst into song, and Kamdev too began to cast his spell on him.
