Archeological sight. Group of ancient temples.

Kalchuri: a dynasty that we hardly have ever heard of. This dynasty was ruling over the territories of central India with their capital at Tripuri (present day near Jabalpur) between 7th -13th century AD. They have a style similar to Chandelas & Parmaras where they built Nagara style temples in Amarkantak. One of the most unique things was the common jagat (plinth) and mandapa (hall) for 2 garbgriha (shrine). The place also has a kund which is believed to be built by Adi Shankaracharya during 7th Century for the original place of Narmada udagam (origin/fount). It's a very well managed ASI site that can be visited by paying a ticket offline or online at the site.

This group of ancient temples is adjacent to Narmada Kund at Amarkantak. It is open from 6 am to 6 pm. The entry fee is Rs. 25 and one needs to show identity proof to enter. All the temples are ruined to some extent. A huge ancient Kund adorns the place. The description of each temple is found in front of the respective temples. The most famous among them is Pataleswar Mahadev. It is said that during the month of Shravan, on any one Monday, the Shivling gets submerged in water. According to the local people, Maa Narmada who is the daughter of lord Shiva comes to pay her obeisance. It is very strange that all round the year, even if during heavy rainfall, no water reaches the linga. One of the temples is called Johila temple and a broken idol of the deity is found there. It is one of its kind. The temples speak volume of the artistic qualities of our ancient craftsman. It is well maintained, although the sanctum sanctorium are closed. One can peep and get a look of the dieties. The Karna or Karan temple stands tall on the rear end. From the place one can see the town filled with temples. Drinking water facility is available and there are lots of benches where one can sit and enjoy the beauty.

Beautiful historical temples built by Gonda Dynasty, well maintained by archeological survey of India, you can buy ticket online just like any other ASI sites.
