The dadri mela which is the second largest cattle fair in India takes place every year from a distance of about one kilometre away from here<br /> <br /> The Ashram is located south east of [[Ballia]], at a distance of about 2&amp;nbsp;km from bus stand, which is 142&amp;nbsp;km from [[Varanasi]]. Ballia is well connected to other parts of state by rail and road (NER Railway Line &amp; NH-19, SH-1) and can be accessed by air from [[Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport|Babatpur airport]], Varanasi (about 159&amp;nbsp;km).<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Ballia is said to have derived its name from [[Valmiki]], the celebrated author of the [[Ramayana]]. Another tradition has it that it derived its name from balua (sand) and still another traditional association of the place is with the ancient sage, [[Bhrigu]] (the tract also being referred to as Bhrigu Kshetra), who is said to have sojourned here. Thousands of Rishies are said to have performed puja here. A fine temple known as Bhrigu Mandir, contains the idols of Bhrigu &amp; his disciple Dadar Muni. Bhrigu Muni, is supposed to have written [[Bhrigu Samhita]] here, which is considered to be an important document pertaining to future predictions almost about every person.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Rishis of Hindu mythology}}<br /> {{HinduMythology}}<br /> <br /> {{Ballia district}}<br /> {{Azamgarh division topics}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Bhrigus}}<br /> [[Category:Rishis]]<br /> [[Category:Prajapatis]]<br /> [[Category:Ballia| ]]<br /> [[Category:Cities and towns in Ballia district]]<br /> [[Category:Hindu temples in Uttar Pradesh]]</div>
