Description[edit]
The Ashram was the residence place of the sage Shringi Rishi in the ancient Mithila region. According to legend, Shringi Rishi lived here for many years. According to scholars in Mithila, Rishi Shringi spent his last period of time here. The name of the village was derived from his name and called as Singiya. The campus of the ashram is taken care by a community organization named as Rishi Shringi Seva Samiti.[1]
Archeological Survey[edit]
In the year 2020 a research work was conducted in the campus by Archeologists Shushant Kumar and Murari Kumar Jha in the chairmanship of Shree Ayodhyanath Jha, the head of the archeological department at Lalit Narayan Mithila University, Darbhanga. According to the research, the Mahadev temple situated in the campus of the ashram seems to be very ancient. The present temple appears to be built in the Tirhut art style around the late 18th or early 19th century.[5] There are only two or three Shivlings found in the Mithila region similar to the structure of the Shivlinga in the Mahadev temple.[1][6]
