Early morning by 6.15 AM we vacate hotel and started to prayaga (BABAN sir already booked a taxi for us ) … but on the way out taxi turned to some left from main road then we people asked that driver “ to reach Allahabad we have to go through a high way only na “ ani then he said baban sir ask me to show “SITA MADI” also to u people ani
1st we reach there then w got the importance of that plece it is the only place where  sita mata went in to her mother’s lap(bhoodevi)
Throughout my life I cnt forget that place …we will forget all..mind will become calm …. I think everyone will feel the same ….
