The godavari river is one of the holiest places for Hindus all over the world. The pious river bed has 24 tirthas (kund). Ramkund, one of the holy kund, measures 27 mtrs by 12 mtrs was built in 1696 by Chitrarao Khatarkar and it is believed that Lord Ram and Sita used to bathe in this Kund during their exile.

Every Hindu wishes his or her ashes to be immersed in Asthivilaya Tirtha so as to attain Moksha or liberation of the soul. The ashes of various personalities have been immersed at Ramkund.

Memorial ( Smarak) of Father of the Nation Mahtama Gandhi is located near Ramkund.
