Valmiki's Ashram at the river Tamasa

[Guest guest]

Hi All

 

Can anybody give the pointers for the details about Maharishi

Valmiki's Ashram at the river Tamasa. VAlmiki Ramayan has very little

account of it. Valmiki did not mention any thing about his own

ashram. Now I want to find out any references about it. Mainly, where

exactly it is situated in the present era? Balkanda refers initially

that it is near the river Ganga. But where exactly? Moreover, Sita

gave birth to Lav and Kush in the ashram of Valmiki only. Was that

same ashram? What was the structure of the ashram? How many shishya

Valmiki had? How far it was from Ayodhya? I am trying to write a

paper on the same topic. Any pointers will be very much helpful.

 

Thanks a lot.
