The Devotion to God- Ridi Hrishikesha falls in between Palpa and Gulmi districts situated in the western region of Nepal it is named after the mythological girl named Ruru, a famous legendary woman devotee who was in deep penance in the devotion of Lord Vishnu. The Purana says that Lord Vishnu was so happy to see Ruru in such devotion that he stood outside her hermitage and asked her to ask him for a boon, she asked him to stay there forever.
