About Ram Tirath temple in Amritsar
Ram
Tirath Mandir Amritsar about fifteen days after the Diwali. This Ram
Tirath Mela in Amritsar is continued over a duration of five days. Here
is an ancient tank which is mythically believed to be dug by Shri
Hanuman Ji. This particular water body is given a great deal of mythical
and religious importance. A wide number of temples have been set up
around the three kilometer circumference of this pond and there is also a
paved path for parikrama or circumambulation around the tank because
circumambulation is seen as a sacred ritual to show honour by the
Hindus. The pilgrims also fervently believe that it is quite good and
auspicious for them to take a dip into the sacred waters of the tank in
the early hours of the full moon night, which is called Puranmashi in
the local language (Sanskrit Pournamashi, known as Purnima in the
eastern India and Pournami in the south). During or after the bath, the
devotees chant different mantras and hail the glory of Sri Ram by
repeatedly taking his name.
