Brahmpur

Brahmpur is a famous village in Darbhanga district of Bihar in India. It is situated at about 8 km away from Kamtaul and 19 kms. south east of Jogiara. The village is noted for the Gautam Kund and a temple of Gautam Rishi located very close to it.

According to the Indian mythological tradition, Lord Brahma appeared before Gautam Rishi at this place after Lord Indra and Chandrama had violated the chastity of Ahalya.

In regard to the Gautam Kund, it is believed that God Brahma himself created the tank by piercing the earth with seven arrows, so that Gautam might not have to travel a long distance for bathing in the Ganga.
