Experience of a natural steam bath

Bakreshwar Hot spring

I doused myself into the balmy water of the hot spring and in a trice, felt a flow of electricity, spreading through my nerve cells with superb sensation. The winsome feeling of titillate, extricated all the indolence. Sitting into the bath tub of chemically or naturally hot water, my mind filled with inexplicable delectation and effectually the enthusiasm was regained back.

After a long time, quit the warmth of the hot spring, and with awakened energy went to see other famous spots in the surrounding. Seven hot springs were surrounded in the area of Bakreshwar of different temperatures from swingeing to moderate hot, and the heat could be felt even at a distance. The strong odour of Sulphur gas was pervasive in the atmosphere. The bubbly water, naturally mixed with the nascent gases was said to yield medicinal effects with healing results.

The water of the hot spring, were made skin tolerant after few stages of cooling process. The reservoirs of visibly boiling water were actually the source of different kinds of nascent gas coming out from the deep core of the earth. A rich perennial source and a subterranean treasure of very pure Helium gas which was collected by entrapping the gas. In Chemistry, Helium is known as inert gas, due to the inertness of reacting with the other elements to form a compound. The most effective use of this inert gas is in cryogenics, this specific stream of science deals with producing very low temperature or more precisely Helium when cooled, instead of getting condensed, it turns to a super fluid, having peculiar behaviour. It was very funny to listen that the Helium gas is present in our surrounding atmosphere, but, due to high extraction cost, the gas was commercially imported by many countries to meet the necessities of its widespread uses.

It has been a famous destination of pilgrimage, with rich mythological histories. Bakreshwar also renowned for the Satipith or Shaktipith, is associated with the eminent Hindu saint Ashtabakra who was said to have meditated here. In Ramayana, Ashtabakra happened to be the advisor of King Janaka of Mithila. In the premises few derelict temples could also be seen were suffered destruction in the earlier sixteenth century.

The approaching Sundown could visibly be noticed in the dark colour of the perennial reservoir of water adjacent to the temple and it was time to leave the place. In the total quietude of the environment, the picturesque view of the Sunset spattered my soul with numerous memorable colours and like a huge plate of lovely hue the Sun slowly went behind a banyan tree.
