Kuppaghat Ashram

Kuppaghat Ashram is a renowned spiritual ashram located on the eastern bank of the River Ganges at Kuppaghat in Bhagalpur, Bihar. It is closely associated with Maharshi Mehi Paramhans, a prominent saint of the Sant Mat tradition, who spent many years meditating in a cave here. The ashram includes meditation halls, the saint's cave, and temples, and is a significant pilgrimage and meditation centre.

Visitors can expect a peaceful ashram complex on the banks of the Ganges with a meditation hall, small temples, and the preserved underground cave where Maharshi Mehi Paramhans meditated. The surroundings are quiet and natural with river views, gardens and simple ashram buildings. Visitors can walk through the ashram premises, see the cave, attend satsang or meditation sessions when held, and experience a calm spiritual environment.

Kuppaghat Ashram is historically significant as the long-time abode and meditation place of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans (1885-1986), a revered saint and exponent of Sant Mat. He spent about 12 years meditating in an underground cave at Kuppaghat on the Ganges bank. The ashram was developed around this cave and became a central institution for his teachings on meditation and inner sound and light.

The ashram is an important spiritual and cultural centre for followers of Sant Mat and for devotees of Maharshi Mehi Paramhans. It serves as a place for meditation, satsang, and annual commemorative gatherings, attracting pilgrims from Bihar and other states who come to pay respects and practice meditation in the saint's cave and halls.
