Maha Sati, a sacred place used to cremate the Udaipur rulers, is located at a place Ahar in Chittorgarh. A main attraction in Maha Sati is a natural reservoir named Gangodbhawa Kund and mythological stories claim that a tributary of Ganges flows underground and emerges here as Ahar river in which this Kund is originated.
It is of belief that this reservoir contains very pure sacred water; considered as having equivalent purity and holiness of Ganges water. An ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is also located nearby in Maha Sati. This place is unspoiled and slowly becomes an attractive tourist spot.
