Narmada — Nilkanth's River

Narmade Har — her very sight liberates

Shri Nilkanthdham stands on the sacred northern bank of Maa Narmada. Pilgrims come here for river darshan, parikrama seva, asthi visarjan and nearby tirth yatra.

River Darshan

The west-flowing moksha river

The Narmada is the river whose darshan alone is revered as liberating. She flows west, against most of her sisters, and cradles Nilkanthdham along her bank.

For centuries, parikramavasis have walked her banks on the Narmada Parikrama. Nilkanthdham keeps sadavrat seva for them — food, rest and a night's shelter in the old tradition.
