It is a shrine of all-India importance located in the lower reaches of the Lohit River. Thousands of pilgrims, visit the place in winter every year, especially on the Makar Sakaranti day for a holy dip in the sacred kund which is believed to wash away one's sins. The legend behind the belief recorded in the Kalika Purana, is that the great sage Parashuram washed away the sins of killing kshatriyas(cause the latter killed prashurams father and waged a war against brahmins) as he was a brahmin(cause it is not correct of a brahmin fighting a war or taking up sword), in the waters of Brahma kund.

A very strong current is now flowing over the original site of the kund but massive boulders have in a mysterious way embedded themselves in a circular formation in the river bed thus forming another kund in place of the old
