Chaturgarh
is a tourist place, situated on mountain, about 3600 feet above sea level. It
is in district Korba of Chhattisgarh state and it the highest peak of korba

to see from tourist point of view –
1. Maa Mahisasur Mardani Mandir (Temple)
2. Chaturgarh Mahamaya Tallab (Pond)
3. Sankar Gufa (Den)
Importace of
these two –
1. Maa Mahisasur Mardani

Its a protected monument. The monument has been declared to be of
national importance under the Ancient monuments and Archaeological sites and

come here by walk only.
2. Chaturgarh Mahamaya Tallab
(Pond)
Beside temple a big pond is there named as Mahamaya Talaab. The pond was
made by Landlord of nearby village. Its a big pond. Tourists takes bath and
rest here below the trees and they become active.
3. Sankar Gufa (Den)
From Maa Mahisasur Mardani Mandir (Temple), sankar Gufa is about 03 km.
One have to go here by walk only. Belief is there that Lord Shiva was inside
the den while escaping from Bhasmasur for several days. Then Lord Vishnu helped
Lord shiva by killing Bhasmasur and then Lord Shiva came out of the den. By
knees one have to enter the den, at one time only two persons are allowed to
enter because of narrow space.
Its a nice and peaceful tourist place away from city, away from pollution,
away from noise. Efforts has been made
to give facilities to comfort to the tourists, its not enough, Government and
the Committee of this temple have to do lot of things more to improve the
place, so that one day it will come on map of india as a big touist place.
