Dadhichi Ashram (Sanskrit: दधीचि आश्रम) refers to the Gurukul and residential hermitage of the Vedic sage Dadhichi in the Indian subcontinent. It is located in the town of Misrikh in the Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh. Presently there is a legendary pond known as Dadhichi Kund in the premises of the ashram. It is mentioned in the Hindu texts Puranas, Mahabharata and Bhagawatam. It is the part of Naimisharanya Teertha in the region.[1][2][3][4][5] It is regarded as a revered pilgrimage for Hindu adherents. Nowadays, Hindu adherents come here to perform holy bath in the kund of the ashram.
