The royal state of Rajasthan has a rich heritage, traditional architecture, and vibrant culture but still has some unexplored travel gems which are yet to be explored by Tourists.
An unique and offbeat tourist destination in this state is Sikar, famous as the second coaching city after Kota. Sikar is in the Shekhawati region of Rajashthan having its own charm and historical significance which is still a less known fact for tourists. The city has many tourist points which can be enjoyed and one of them is the Lohargal Kund, which is not to miss the attraction of Sikar.
The hot spring has many mythological stories weaved around its importance. One such story is linked to the epic Mahabharata. It is believed that after winning the Kurukshetra war, Pandav brothers were upset and were guilty of killing their own family members. On this Lord Krishna suggested them to visit various religious places and also mentioned the destination where their weapons will be dissolved, will be a sign of forgiveness of their sins. So Pandav started their pilgrimage and finally at Lohargal Kund in Sikar their weapons were dissolved confirming their forgiveness. Hence Lahar Kund has its spiritual relevance among the locals.
It is commonly visited by the devotees on all the religious occasions and various religious fairs are also organised in Somvati Amavasya, Bhadrapad Amavasya. As the hot spring has a Sun temple, so on the occasion of Surya Saptami a religious procession is organised in the Magh month of Hindu calendar attended by a huge number of devotees. Even the devotees take a holy bath in the kund to purify their sins.
So If you are those interested in exploring off-the-beaten destinations in Rajasthan, then Sikar has a beautiful combination of history, art, and spiritual converge.
