About Chitrakuta
The route to Chitrakuta is given by Bharadvaja near Prayaga and includes a crossing of Yamuna. The mountain is therefore part of a connected journey, reached through counsel, travel and the brothers’ practical work rather than through an unexplained change of scene.
Its landscape is presented through abundant trees, flowers, fruit, honey, birds and wild animals. These details are also the resources and companions of forest life, setting a different measure of richness from the streets and palaces left behind.
