“Our next destination after Jam Gate was Dhargaon, and from there, we reached Gogaon, a village located on the northern banks of the Narmada River,” travel enthusiast and our reader Shrikant Kalamkar said.
He added that across from Gogaon on the southern banks lies the village of Bhatyan. The river crossing here is done using traditional boats, and we enjoyed this thrilling experience. The Narmada River's water level was higher than usual due to the rainy season, creating a lively and festive atmosphere along the banks.

120 year old Baba’s ashram!
“The highlight of our visit was meeting with Saint Siyaram Baba of Bhatyan,” said another traveller Kunal Mishra. Known for his devotion, Baba Siyaram is said to recite the Ramayana daily for 21 hours without the aid of glasses.
His ashram, located near the Narmada, is renowned for its spiritual significance and the miracles attributed to Baba. “Despite his advanced age of around 115-120 years, Baba remains active and devoted to Narmada and community service,” a traveller Pramod Pahadiya said.
