Similarly it is said that the gods reside in the white snow range which resembles a fish’s tail.Just as the gods are said to reside in great mountain ranges so the sages who investigate divinity reside on the banks of rivers.Thus the most important rivers can be seen flowing in nepal itself such as the koshi river in the east,the karnali river in the west and the gandaki river in the middle.Especially the gandaki river where sage vasishtha performed penance and sage vishwamitra invented the gayatri incantation while sitting on the river in the east.It is said that seven sages lived in this holy religious place.This place is important because it is the abode of sage vasishtha.Here the daighter of nepal sita performed penance whose ideal is famous in the world.Here it is said that the daughter of king janak the inventor of janak philosophy merged with the earth.It is said that 550 years ago king mukunda sen of palpa kingdom chose devghat for penance.The main reason why the king of that time chose this place was that before that time a place called devghat was popular in the minds of the people here.Therefore this place is known as a religious place because it was the place of penance of king mukunda sen.
