Bhoramdeo Siva stone temple, near Raipur

An Indian Roadie fan from Pune had to drive to ‪‎Bhilai‬ and ‪#Raipur‬ for official work in end February 2016.

He could manage to squeeze out some time to visit the ‪#‎BhoramdeoSivaTemple‬.

This is what he reported:

A visit to the Bhoramdeo Siva stone temple built in 11the century AD (in the reign of Naga Vamsi kings) on the way to Raipur is a must. It is called the ‪Khajuraho‬ of ‎Chhattisgarh‬. There is hardly anything nearby except a small shop that keeps peanuts and colas which save the hungry souls.

History says that Maharaja Ramachandra was the man behind establishing this famous temple near Raipur where the Bhoramdeo festival is celebrated today. The temple reflects the extraordinary architectural agility.
A nondescript garlanded Nandi greets us as we enter the final stretch of the long, narrow and winding road to the Bhoramdeo temple precincts.
