Surya Kund is a scenic hot water spring located near the famous Gangotri Temple in the state of Uttarakhand, India. This thermal spring is situated in the Himalayan region and is dedicated to the Sun God, Surya. It lies at a high altitude in the Uttarkashi district amid the majestic mountains, offering serene views and a peaceful environment. The Kund is considered sacred, and many pilgrims visiting Gangotri make it a point to take a dip in its warm sulfurous waters, believed to possess healing properties. The water temperature is quite high, and it is said to have medicinal effects, particularly for skin ailments. Devotees also perform rituals and offer prayers here. The Kund serves as a respite from the cold weather typically experienced in this region. The backdrop of snow-capped peaks and the reverberation of the Bhagirathi River add to the mystical charm of Surya Kund.
