#Mystery_of_Bhimkund
Great Hindu epic Mahabharat links Bhimkund with
Pandavas. Tired and weary under the hot scorching surya, Draupadi fainted of thirst.
Bhim, the strongest of the five brothers, hit the ground with his Gada (a mace-like weapon used in ancient India 1500 BCE or earlier) and behold water surged out and the pool came into being.
#Bhimkund is a beautiful natural water reservoir on the River Baitarani.
It is located exactly on the boundary line between the districts Kendujhar and Mayurbhanj, at a distance of about 100 km from Keonjhar.
This reservoir is two storeyed which resulted into the formation of two waterfalls one above another. It is being told that, Bhima, the second Pandava had taken bath in this reservoir and hence it was named after him.
During Makar Festival in the month of January thousands of people gather here to take their holy dip.
