Some Beautiful places very close to Bhavali Dam

1) Sarva Tirth Taked

This is the place where Jatayu's wounded was found by King Rama on the outskirts of the village of Taked.

While Jatayu was injured and laying on the ground when King Rama came, King Rama observed the ultimate result and determined that Jatayu should obtain a moksha.

Lord Rama hit an arrow on the ground to summon all seven sacred rivers, called the teertha.

The water of the six rivers has come, the water of one river has failed to obey the call of King Ramah. Since Lord Rama himself was a man of Lord Vishnu, He forced the Gaya teertha to come to that place.

Eventually, Jatayu was given water from seven rivers and found a moksha. Today, six river water is visible in one lake, and the seventh is just a few yards away. It meets the remaining six waters in an invisible way.

The obscure town remains a tourist attraction today. The exhibition is organized at the Mahashivratri festival near the sacred pool of water.
