What is the location of Sati Anusuya temple?

The Sati Anusuya Temple is located in the forests of Chitrakoot, approximately 16 km from Chitrakoot town (the main settlement near Ram Ghat and Kamadgiri). The address is Anusuya Ashram, Chitrakoot — the village of Anusuya is essentially named after the ashram itself.

Getting there from Chitrakoot town: The road is paved but passes through forested terrain. The most practical way is to hire an auto-rickshaw or a shared jeep from Ram Ghat or the main bus stand in Chitrakoot. The one-way fare by auto is around ₹150–200; a shared jeep charges ₹40–60 per person. The ride takes 30–40 minutes depending on traffic, which is usually light on this route.

If you are driving your own vehicle, the route from Chitrakoot bus stand follows the road toward Sati Anusuya — signs are present at key junctions, but they can be easy to miss. Ask locally at Ram Ghat if you are unsure of the turn.

The ashram itself sits at the end of the road, at the edge of the forest. There is parking space for cars and auto-rickshaws. From the parking area, it is a short walk through a shaded forested path to the temple entrance — about 5–10 minutes on foot. This approach through the forest is part of what makes the visit distinctly serene compared to the busier ghats in town.

Most visitors combine Sati Anusuya with a broader Chitrakoot circuit: Kamadgiri circumambulation, Ram Ghat darshan, Janki Kund, and Gupt Godavari. Given the 16 km distance from the main cluster, it is best visited either first thing in the morning (before heading to the main sites) or as the final stop of the day.
