Deokund (Rishi Chaywan's Ashram) - This was the penance place of Rishi Chaywan. Here he got his eyes damaged accidently by princess Sanyukta who later became his wife. Ashwini Kumar came here and blessed the rishi and gave him the formula of ChaywanPrash. He got made a pond called Dev Kund in which if one bathes, gets merits of bathing in all the tirths (religious places). The shivling which he made out of Kasauti stone (touchstone) is still here and is called Chaywaneshwar Shivling and the temple was created by Lord Vishwakarma in one night. The famous Chhath festival of Bihar originated from here as his wife started observing it for the first time. Here a fair is held in Phalgun and Vaishkh Shivratris.
