Spiritual, mythological and historical significance of Soron Ji Shukar Kshetra
According to mythological legends, Soron Ji Shukar Kshetra is one of the 51 Adi Tirthas of Vedic culture. Lord Varaha, the third incarnation of Lord Vishnu, attained salvation in the Haripadi Kund located here. At the same time, every year lakhs of devotees from 10 states of India come to Soron ji for the ritual salvation of their ancestors. The bones that are immersed in the Haripadi Kund here dissolve in the water of the pool within 24 hours. Surprisingly, no scientist has been able to solve this mystery till date.
