Jahnu Kund




Jahnu Kund is a sacred tank near Garbhavasa at Ekachakra in Birbhum District. This tank is also known as Hantugada. It is said that the kunda was created by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu with all the holy waters in the country.

This kund is surrounded by grass and a lone tree. Folklore is that it is the place where Nityananda, a saint associated with the Gaudiya Vaishnava sect, used to perform the dadhi-cida festival.
