Story of Indrakund
Legend has it that Gautam Rishi cursed Indra to have pores
in his body. To escape from the curse, Indra performed holy bath in the small pond
here. He was then relieved of the curse and the place came to be known as
Indrakund.
The Indrakund Devasthan here has murtis of Vishnu, Hanuman
and Ganesha. There is also Shivling here.
