1.6-Billion-Year-Old Fossils Found in Chitrakoot (Uttar Pradesh) May Represent Earliest-Known Plants

The original Chitrakoot (with Ramayana connection and having the religious significance) lies mostly in Madhya Pradesh near the  MP / UP border. Extension of Chitrakoot into UP is of a later origin (like a city expanding over time into the suburbia). It's interesting that they found the fossils of earliest-known plants in that area (Chitrakoot).

not true. it is true that Chitrakoot spans both UP and MP, but the Kamadgiri hill where Lord Rama is believed to have resided while in Chitrakoot is in UP.

Chitrakoot originally (with the Ramayana connection / narration) referred to the mountainous / forest region where Valmiki's hermitage was located (in forest / mountain area), corresponding to the Vindhya (Vindhyachal) mountain range which lies mostly in the direction / side of MP.

It is possible that they lived on the MP side of Chitrakoot and relieved themselves on the UP side of Chitrakoot. That explains why bhaiyyas are still bimaru. Vindhyachal on the UP side is now called Mirzapur because of monomaniac infestation.

Mirzapur is a district; Vindhyachal is a town within this district: a fine example of H-M synthesis. they are believed to have lived on the Kamadgiri hill which is on the UP side of Chitrakoot. (When you go to Chitrakoot you are supposed to do a parikrama--circumambulation--of this Kamadgiri hill since it is believed to be especially sacred, just like Govardhan hill is especially sacred in the Krishna mythology.)
