Prime Attractions
Vishnu Temple
The Vishnu Mandir was built by kings of Hayhay Vansh,
near Bhima Talab of purani basti of Janjgir in 12 Century.
It was being constructed in two parts to make a full temple,
but both the parts were not assembled in time and as a result
of it, both the parts of the temple are laying on the ground
separately and still the temple is uncompleted. Due to this,
the temple is also called as Nakata Mandir by local people.
On the walls of the temple the statue of God and Goddess,
Gandharava and Kinners are making it worth watching for
the tourists.
Pithampur
The Lord Shiva Mandir is situated on the bank of river
Hasdeo which is also known as Kaleshwarnath Mandir. A 10
days fate and fair is being organized here during the festival
of Maha Shivaratri and Rang Panchami. Every year on RangPanchami
the marriage procession Lord Shiva is being organized in
which a group Naga Saints also takes part.
