As legend goes, lord Rama along with Sitaji and Brother Laxman was camping in jungle as a part of fourteen year of exile. They reached Dandakarnya ( Dang District of Gujarat ) . Sharbhang sage welcomed Sri Ram in his ashram. And looked after them very well with great love and affection. Sage was suffering from the leprosy and his body was badly smelling, in this painful condition with the help of yoga power he changed his outer appearance. Even with painful condition he followed Sri Ram on foot to see him off his area.
