Valmiki Ashram is closely associated with the mythological tales of the epic Ramayana. Located on a hillock, the ashram is believed to be the residence of Goddess Sita, during her exile. In this ashram, Goddess Sita gave birth to her twin sons Luva and Kusha. It is also said that from this ashram Goddess Sita disappeared into the lap of Mother Earth, when Lord Rama requested her to return to the kingdom.
