== Description ==<br />
Every year on the thirteenth day of the spiritual journey Mithila Madhya Parikrama, a very large number of devotees, Shadhu-Saints and travellers flock into the village of Karuna. There they stay and take rest at the bank of the legendary pond Ram Sagar. The native residents of the village welcome these devotees as their guests and provide services to them.<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
== Legend ==<br />
In Mithila, a daughter is offered water to drink before she leaves for the groom's place. It is believed that the princess [[Sita]] of Mithila was offered water at the karuna village when she was leaving the palace of her father [[Janaka|King Janaka]] and going to her groom's palace in [[Ayodhya]] after her marriage with [[Rama|Lord Rama]]. The legendary location in the village where this ritual was performed is presently known as ''Ramsagar Pokhair''. Nowadays, it is a sacred pond for the pilgrimage of the Mithila Madhya Parikrama.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" /><br />
