During this process it is said that one of the body piece
fell in the area which is 12-km from Malinithan towards
Along in West Siang District. This place is called Akashi
Ganga and is very popular as a sacred place.
The Sacred Kund
There is a temple near the road. From there one has to
go down 100 meters down through a spiral path, where a sparkling
object can be seen in the 'Kund' but on going more down
the object is invisible. Devotees take bath in this Kund.
The place also provides a magnificent bird's eye view of
the Brahmaputra River glimmering far below.
How to Get There
Road: Malinithan is just 12-km away from Akashiganaga,
easily accessible by bus or a car. One can also reach Malinithan
by bus or car from Guwahati (Assam), as well as by bus from
Itanagar.
