WHICHEVER IT IS, IT MUST BE REFERENCED. THIS IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA NOT AN OPINION ARTICLE.....................Frdedrik Drew, a British scholar who visited Purmandal in the year 1828, states that the entire place was agog with life and activity and pilgrims were bathing on the sands and Devika river. Shops were installed in its middle and looked as if a festival was going on.

In Devi Mahatmays it is mentioned that there is no need to perform Japa or any ritual for obtaining spiritual benefits at this pilgrim centre, only to touch with the Devika waters or having a bath in its waters is enough to get spiritual benefits. Water comes out by digging about a foot into the sand bed. Cremation on the sands of Devika is considered as meritorious as cremation on the banks of the Ganges at Kashi.
