A perfect place for camping, yoga and a stop for riders.🏕️🏍️Augustmuni is a town on the banks of the Mandakini River in Rudraprayag district, Uttarakhand, India. It is located 16 kilometers (10 miles) from the city of Rudraprayag, and is named after the Hindu/Yogic Siddhar Agastya, one of the original seven rishis or Saptarishis.The earliest list of the Seven Rishis is given by Jaiminiya Brahmana 2.218–221: Agastya, Atri, Bhardwaja, Gautam, Jamadagni, Vashistha and Vishvamitra followed by Brihadaranyaka Upanisad 2.2.6 with a slightly different list: Atri, Bharadvaja, Gautama, Jamadagni, Kashyapa, Vashistha and Vishwamitra. The late Gopatha Brahmana 1.2.8 has Vashistha, Vishvamitra, Jamadagni, Gautama, Bharadvaja, Gungu, Agastya and Kashyapa.In post-Vedic texts, different lists appear; some of these rishis[were recognized as the mind-born sons (Sanskrit: मनस पुत्र, manasputra) of Brahma, the representation of the Supreme Being as Creator. Other representations are Mahesh or Shiva as the Destroyer and Vishnu as the Preserver. Since these seven rishis were also among the primary eight rishis, who were considered to be the ancestors of the Gotras of Brahmins, the birth of these rishis was mythicized.In ancient Indian astronomy, the asterism of the Big Dipper (part of the constellation of Ursa Major) is called saptarishi, with the seven stars representing seven rishis, namely Vashistha, Marichi, Pulastya, Pulaha, Atri, Angiras and Kratu. There is another star slightly visible within it, known as Arundhati. Arundhati and Vashishtha are married, and together form the Mizar double.Maharshi Priya Ranjans temple is a notable religious site located within Augustmuni, and Kedernath, a well-known Hindu pilgrimage site, is located 72 km (44.7 miles) away. Other notable sites in and around Augustmuni include smaller temples such as Purana Deval and Gangtal Mahadev, and the Vijaynagar market. The Purana Deval temple was destroyed in the 2013 North India floods.Nearby towns include Ganganagar, Baidubagar, Chandrapuri, Banaswada, and Dhanyu Village.Education, dental, and public/private healthcare facilities are available in Augustmuni. The state government runs several public schools in the area, including Gauri Memorial Intermediate College, Agastya Public Intermediate College, Children Academy Intermediate College, Rose Mount Academy, Saraswati Vidhya Mandir, Saraswati Sishu Mandir, Government Inter College, Government Girls College, and Rising Era Academy. There is also a central government-run Kendriya Vidyalaya in Augustmuni. A post-graduate college is also situated nearby in Jawaharnagar where students are able to study Arts, Commerce, Education, and Science.
