Bhum Mountains

The Bhum Mountains are a mountain range found in the southeastern part of Nousphaira. The mountains are best known as the location of the Prakti Monastery. To the west of the mountains is the Asakura Grove, to which the Shifa River is a tributary of the healing river that the grove is known for.

Behind the scenes
Bhum is derived from Bhūmi, the Hindu deity of earth. Bhūmi also refers to the ten stages in the path to become a Buddha.

In Shia Islam, it is believed that "healing water" (called āb-i shifā) was capable of healing an individual of both spiritual and physical illness.
