The administration in this Uttar Pradesh district on Thursday commenced the renovation and excavation of the ancient “Mrityu Kup” at Kot Purvi, located within the Sambhal Kotwali police station area.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to identify and restore wells that are believed to hold great religious and spiritual significance.
According to locals, the well was abandoned several years ago and filled with debris, which will be cleared.
The well is not only a historic landmark but also a sacred site where devotees believe they can attain salvation by bathing, the locals claim.
The well is deeply-embedded in the region’s spiritual fabric, with locals holding it in high regard for its mythological importance.
