Kurukulla Asthan, Kushinagar

Situated in a thick forest on the bank of a river approximately 8 km from Kasia-Tamkuhi road, Kurukulla Asthan is dedicated to Adi Shakti—the first and the original power—Kurukulla Devi. The sacred place is believed to have been built by Nagarjun.

Since the place is situated in a serene and tranquil surrounding in the forest area, it is a favourite destination for people who come here to meditate and seek peace and relaxation from the turmoil of their daily life. Kurukulla Asthan is, therefore, popularly known as meditation centre among the people of the area.
