The history of Sagra Ashram, about 10 kilometers away from Sultanpur city, is believed to be more than 500 years old. Dr. Swami Dayanand Muni, the Mahant of this ashram, tells that Baba Sahajaram arrived in Bandhua Kala in around 1600 AD. He came from Ayodhya via Lucknow. He built a small hut on Sagra and started living here. Just in front of this ashram, there is a big ocean in an area of ​​about three acres.

The flag goes from here in Maha Kumbh
Dr. Swami Dayanand Mun tells that when Mahakumbh starts in Prayagraj, the flag hoisted first is from here. The flag is sent to Mahakumbh from this Sagara Ashram only. Only then does Mahakumbh begin. This trend is not from today but has been going on for many years.
