Rishikeshav Complex

Description
The Hindu pilgrimage and crematory centre mentioned in the mythological epics lies on the ancient route to Muktinath and Damodar Kunda. The complex presents various forms of architecture; typical medieval temple complex, sculptures of the Sen Period (15th to 18th Century). The adjacent settlement of Ridi still retains its medieval character and architecture with its close linkage to the Rishikesh Complex. The living heritage of Rishikesh of Ruru Kshetra is still preserved, with fairs and festivals being held regularly, ancient worship practices related to the propagation of Vedic rituals and culture and the practice of Bhaktini Amas (Female Mendicants).

Achammeshor Cave

Achemmeshor is a very narrow gorge made by the river Kali Gandaki separating Gulmi from Syangja district. It is situated about 4km upward from Ridi. It is also called Sangrue, literally meaning narrow place. People say that a strong monkey can jump across the river at this gorge. It is a very calm and quit place. There is a small area where boating and fishing can be done. When the water is calm and clean, a stone idol is visible in the water. It is supposed to be the idol of a saint who meditated there long long ago. In the month of Kartik 9October-November) people go there to worship the saint and for picnic as well.

There is a fifteen years old proposal of building a dam for hydro electricity at this place of interest. If this project is conducted, the whole area will be changed vastly. It is a very big project and can be run by the assistance of international aid only.
