Architecture

According to folklore, this is the place where Goddess Sita, while spending her time in the jungle (as ordained by her husband), gave birth to her sons Luv and Kush. These two sons grew up to be warriors in the jungle. Eventually, the two sons gave a tough fight to the army led by Lord Ram himself, comprising his entire fighting force. The two sons virtually defeat their father in the war and Lord Ram eventually comes to know that the two young warriors were his sons through Goddess Sita. At this point of time, Goddess Sita decides to 'disappear' into mother Earth.

The temple is facing in East direction with typical North indian architecture, with a natural spring near the temple.

Religious Significance

As per the Ramayana lord Rama came back to Ayodhya after his victory over Ravana the king of Lanka. Due to the gossip of the people regarding Sita's stay in Lanka, Rama decided to abandon Sita and sent her to the forest.Unknown to him, she was pregnant with his twin sons. Later on, a big yagna was held by lord Rama in Ayodhya and this was the ashwamedha yagna or horse sacrifice. The yagna was that the horse of that grand yagna was released at Ayodhya and the horse was free to move in any direction or any kingdom. Any king of any kingdom through which the horse passed would have to declare Rama as his sovereign lord and emperor. While the horse was wandering through the jungle near the place where Sita and her two sons Lav and Kush were staying, the two boys captured the horse .All the great warriors of Rama including Lakshman, Bharath, Shatrugan, Sugreev and Hanuman were defeated in battle with the two boys.Finally the great king of Ayodhya came to that place to fight Lav and Kush. Their identities remained unknown and they did not realise that they were fighting their father. Finaly Sita came there with folded palms and told them the truth. Even then, Rama was hesitant to take her back. Sita who was the embodiment of purity and chastity was stung by Rama's behaviour and she cried out to her mother Bhoomi devi to take her back to her home. Bhoomi or the earth opened up and swallowed Sita. A remorseful Rama took Lav and Kush back to Ayodhya.

History
