Bamleshwari Temple, Chhattisgarh

While the main shrine or the Badi Bamleshwari Temple, literally translating to the Big Bamleshwari Temple is constructed on a hilltop at an elevation of 1600 feet, on its foothills almost at a distance of 12 kilometres further lies another shrine dedicated to the same deity known as Choti Bamleshwari Temple or The Small Bamleshwari temple.

These temple shrines are equally popular among pilgrims and heretics as they are revered by thousands of devotees who flock to temple grounds and premises during the most auspicious Navratri festival in the Hindu pantheology. The temple on the hill top is accessible for tourists and visitors and devotees alike by rope way cable cars which are also a major draw as it is the only one of its kind in the state of Chhattisgarh. While devotees and pilgrims can also walk their way to the temple, the rope way cable car is an added attraction that brings in tourists and fun farers thronging to the temple site.
