• Gagol Teerth, 25 km from Meerut, is Maharishi Vishwamitra's ashram, troubled by demons from Mandodari's ancestral region.
• Lord Shri Ram and Lakshman were brought by Vishwamitra from Ayodhya to kill demons, where Ram created a sacred pond with an arrow.
• A Swastika-shaped Moksha Dham has been established, allowing devotees to perform Jalabhishek on Shivlings for wishes and salvation.
• Grand programs, including Chhath Puja, are held, with devotees worshipping Maa Chhath Maiya around the sacred pond.
• Lord Shri Ram and Lakshman left for Sita's Swayamvar from here; accessibility will improve with Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro inauguration in 2026.
