Ashram is an important place both historically and archaeologically. It is
believed that, Indra, the king of Gods, was scared by Sage Vishwamitra’s
meditation, and sent a beautiful heavenly damsel named Menaka, who finally
succeeded in diverting Vishwamitra’s attention. She gave birth to a girl
who later become Shakuntala and married the prince of Hastinapur. She gave
birth to Bharat, the prince after whom our country is called Bharatvarsh.
