Shri Rukmani Kund

Historical & religious place.This pond gives water supply to more than 100 of nearby villages,as no knowns from where this blue fresh water came from.

One of the historical place and holy place in bilaspur. Rukmani kund tells a story itself how Rani Rukmani's life sacrifices for people of Bilaspur. Rani Rukmani sacrifices herself for people.Here you feel the vibes there is a pond in between the rocky mountains. By seeing the mountains which is dry all the way you cannot imagine that in between these there is a source of natural water.

There is a story: as per the auther from har gaon ki kahani.

The entire Auhar region was in trouble because of dearth of water despite their repeated efforts to dig a well. Once the King had a dream that in case his son or daughter in law is offered as a sacrifice, water could come out. The daughter-in-law, Rukmani offered herself in presence of her husband. She sacrificed her life and the present Rukmani Kund is a result of her courageous act. It is said that she was buried alive at the place where we have this Kund today.
Now burying alive a person doesn’t sound good even if it means saving an entire village.
But then being a King was not an easy job either.
It is said that never again the region suffered from water crisis. Even the Irrigation Department started a water-lift scheme at the reservoir and they too never faced a problem of this reservoir going dry till date. Bilaspur is a hot-humid region where even the Mother Sutlej retreats during summers, this reservoir never goes dry. Also, the bluish water of this reservoir breeds a special kind of fish.

Rukmani belonged to Auhar (erstwhile Taredh Village) and even today people from Rukmani’s village don’t drink or bathe in the Kund’s waters. Such is the pride they take in their daughter’s sacrifice.

Great experience.
Blue water. Heavenly.
You will feel you are in magic pool that usually is in foreign land. Cave like structure is also present.

So quiet.. it's almost like being lost!!!
Fully recommended!!!

Just one thing never visit here during monsoon. See the pics and you'll know why I am saying this. I visited here in late aug and see for yourself

Great historical place and best Natural Swimming pool in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh

Really nice place to visit.

It's good

Serene auspicious spot. Deserves to be restored and taken care of.

Rukmani Kund is a reservoir surrounded by Rocky Mountains in the middle of a thick Sivalik Hills Forest in Bilaspur district.

Great spot and having historical values.

The sacred pool is locaties in an offbeat place, so off beat that even google maps dienst give you the accurate path. Cool azure water of the pool need some searching once you are there as you have to go down the gravel path before you behold the phenomenal spot. The effect of limpid water, the quiet and seclusion of the place and the fish that in habit the pool can not be described in words.
Bathing in the pool is prohibited, but the sign stating so is located far off.
