ReplyDeleteSirpur was the first crossroads in the country, due to which Lord Ram had come here during the exile?
Deletevery nice most beautiful places.in sirpur
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this awesome info with all of us! 🙂
ReplyDeleteसिर्पूर कितना पुराना है
ReplyDelete8th-9th century place
Deleteबहुत अच्छा आर्टिकल है दोस्त।
ReplyDeleteSuper
ReplyDeleteGood historical place,actually the rocks and temple obtained there are dug up in the past and obtained. The temple have statue of all goddess.....
ReplyDeleteThis is my First Visit to the Historical place of My Incredible Chhattisgarh.. and I was amazed to find another ancient architectural wonder in India..Sirpur is a historical town in Mahasamund district..near about 85 km away from Raipur..on the banks of the river Mahanadi..
The architectural marvel which include Laxman Temple, Surang Tila, Buddha Viharas, statues of Buddha, Mahavir and various temples..Since all the sites are far to each other, you need a car for your visit.
Famous attractions of Sirpur are the Gandheshwar Temple, The Buddha Vihar, Surang Tila and Laxman Temple (dedicated to lord Vishnu).
Now About Laxman Temple : On seeing from outside, it looks like a normal Hindu temple. The temple itself is very old and the complex has large lawn and three museums house of many ancient artifacts..The small Laxman Temple made of red bricks(is considered as one of the finest brick temples..) is also one of the best temples of site which is located on a 7 feet platform within a well maintained lush green complex and is worth visiting. There are also three small museum's near the temple within its premises.. The site will interest only those who loves history and ancient architecture. A nominal entry fee Rs 25/- is charged. Ticket system is simple and good greenery maintained in temple campus, You may enjoy the evening Sunset Time in Cool Breeze with your loved ones. It is also accessible to persons with disabilities.
Next Surang Tila : The staircase is the USP of this place..This time I found that a portion of the structure was getting repaired by ASI (Archeological Survey of India).Renovations are ongoing and the compound looks to developed further in future. Further updates may be in my next visit to the place after some time.
Now the Travelling and Food :The road to the site is good and well maintained with large trees along the path way with vast jungles before the actual site. I really love to drive on this NH 53. It is worth while to travel in open vehicle and enjoy the drive. The road is in Absolutely perfect condition(NH 53).Thumbs up to NHAI (National Highways Authority of India). Only downside is that Sirpur itself does not have many food option near by, Good and Tasty Dhaba's were lil bit far away, so ensure you carry water and snacks.
Finally, You have seen nothing if you have not visited Sirpur, one time capital city of Chhattisgarh in ancient times. Best place for a short one day visit.
If you have some more days, you may Explore out Barnawapara Jungle Safari, Giroudpuri Dhaam.
This is really Incredible Chhattisgarh..
It's a gem of our history. The glorious structure is made up of ancient red bricks and pillars are made of rocks, which are carved with various Gods and Goddess. The carvings on walls are magnificent which are epitome of our ancient arts....
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely and peaceful place with huge and lush green campus. Definitely a must visit place for recreation, knowledge , history and picnic. It too has a museum, where various ancient sculpture of different centuries are kept.
And the village around, has many excavation sites of Buddhist and Hindu beliefs.And never to forget holy Mahanadi river which adds-on beauty and serenity..
Must visit/Add on your check list..

ReplyDeleteWondrfull i loved it.�
A very good place to hangout with family and friends. Museum is a must to see place. Local transport is quite rare as the place not in main city but as per tourist space buses are available from the various locations. You can take your own vehicle as well. Snacks available nearby and some dhabas for proper meal.

ReplyDelete" सिरपुर के प्राचीन इतिहास पर अच्छी ग्यानवर्धक सामग्री के प्रदाय हेतु साधुवाद ; 1985-86 में वहां जाना हुआ था, तब तक वहां कोई विकास कार्य या व्यवस्था नहीं थी ; अब पुरातत्व विभाग ने कुछ ध्यान दिया है, एक बार फिर से वहां जाना चाहुंगा । "
आपका स्वागत है । सिरपुर अब भव्य हो चुका है ।कई रिसाट का निर्माण हो चुका है।
Deleteअब यह जगा देखने योग्य है
