Hamar Chhattisgarh : Rajim 'Prayag of Chhattisgarh'


Rajim is the Dharma city of Chhattisgarh, it is located at the confluence of Mahanadi in the Gariyabandh district. The ancient name of Rajim was Kamalkhetra Parammawati Puri. Mahanadi was formerly known as Chitrottapala Ganga, hence it was also known as Chitrottapala Nagari. Rajim is considered as the Prayag site like Allahabad, it is the confluence of Parri river, Sondhur river and Mahanadi river. That is why in this confluence place, bone-busting and  pindadan, Shradh and worship are done.

Rajiv Lochan Temple

The Rajiva Lochan Temple is ancient to all the temples here. This temple is said to be 8th century on the basis of the Rajiv Lochan temple record of Nal Dynasty Vilasastung. This record describes the construction of a temple of Vishnu by Maharaja Vilasantung.
According to one belief, Lord Vishnu once asked Vishwakarma to build a temple on the earth, where no dead body was burned for up to five KM. When Lord Vishwakarma came to Earth he could not find any such place. On telling this problem, Lord Vishnu threw his lotus flower on the earth and told Vishwakarma that wherever these flowers fell, make a temple there. That flower falls in Rajim of Chhattisgarh, where Lord Vishnu's Rajiv Lokchan Temple is built on the pollen of Kamal.

Kuleshwar Mahadev Temple

This temple is situated in the middle of the Triveni Sangam of Mahanadi, there is a inscription near its Mahamandap, according to which the temple is built 8-9th century. This temple is a living proof of the technical knowledge of that time. In the rainstorm, the floodplain was specifically designed to protect the temple from flood. Apart from this, the temple is not only as high as the height, but the foundation under the temple is also surrounded by strong stones. When the flood came in Rajim in 1967, the temple was completely submerged. Only the Kalash part was visible. But after the water got down, it was seen that there was no damage. By putting money in the idol of Shivalinga in this temple, it goes down and resonance is resonated.



 Ashram of Lomash Rishi

Around 100 yards away from Kuleshwar, in the Rajim, there is an ashram of Lomash Rishi on the south side. There are many trees of the Aegle marmelos (Bilva), so this place is known as Belhari. Maharishi Lomash established the monumental devotion of Shiva and Vishnu and gave the Mahamantra of worship of Harihar. He has said that in the leaves of Bilva, after mentioning the power of Vishnu, present it to Shiva. Kuleeshwar Mahadev's Archana Rajim is still in that style.

Temple of Rajim Telin

Rajim is the Temple of Tallinn on the other premises of the Lochan Temple. In the sanctum of this temple, a shovel high altar is attached to the background - in front of it, with the sun, moon and stars on the upper side, lift up one arm and inscribe it in the currency of the promise, which means that as long as the sun, moon And the stars will scatter light. Rajim Tallinn's allegiance will continue to bear testimony to devotion and virtuousness. Dhani of Rajim Tallinn is also established in one place. Shilpatta is the engraving of the bullied crusher in the middle. In the end, Rajim was named after Rajim Tallinn.
