Kanvashram is an important historical site situated near Kotdwara town in Uttarakhand, India. Surrounded by thick forests and on the banks of the Malini River, the ashram presents a picturesque vista of natural beauty and tranquility. It is believed to be the place where Sage Vishwamitra meditated, and where the main character of the Indian epic Ramayana, Goddess Sita, gave birth to her sons, Luv and Kush. The site holds immense significance in Hindu mythology, embedding it deep into the cultural heritage of the region. Archaeological evidence has revealed that it was a thriving place of activity in the bygone ages. Today, Kanvashram serves as a gateway to Pauri Garhwal for people traveling from the plains and is a starting point for several treks into the surrounding hills. The tranquil environment and rich cultural backdrop make it a popular spot for meditation, sightseeing, and from a geographical perspective, it provides an entry point to the hills of Uttarakhand.
