Emergency imposed in the country from today… when this voice echoed on the radio, Nitish and Lalu jumped into the river

This is the story of Falgu river

According to the story, Lord Rama went to the Falgu river to perform the Pind Daan of King Dasharath. Then Rama went to the city with Lakshman to collect the material. They got late in collecting the material and due to this the time for Pind Daan was passing. Then Mother Sita was sitting on the banks of the Falgu river. Then Dasharath ji appeared before her and said that the time for Pind Daan is passing, quickly donate my Pind Daan.

When mother Sita gave a curse

Then Devi Sita made a pind (a type of sand) out of sand and offered it to the Phalgu river, Akshay Vat, a Brahmin, Tulsi and Gaumata as witnesses. When Ram and Lakshman arrived, they and Akshay Vat told them everything. But Phalgu river did not say anything, then Sita Mata got angry and cursed the Phalgu river. Since then this river flows underground, it is also called Bhu-Salila.
