BHEDAGHAT

The Small village of Jabalpur tehsil situated on the bank of river Narmada and widely famous for its marble Rocks is at a distance about 21 Km from Jabalpur by road. Soaring in glittering splendour, the Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat rise to a hundred feet on either side of the Narmada. The serene loveliness of the scene is one of cool quiet, the sunlight sparkling on the marble-white pinnacles and casting dappled shadows on the pellucid waters. Sunlight, now glancing from a pinnacle of snow-white marble reared against the deep blue of the sky as from a point of silver ; touching here and there with bright lights the prominences of the middle heights; and again losing itself in the soft bluish grays of their recesses….. Here and there the white saccharine limestone is seamed by veins of dark green or black volcanic rock; a contrast which only enhances, like a setting of jet, the purity of the surrounding marble."

The Narmada, making its way through the Marble Rocks, Narrows down and then plunges in a waterfall Rocks,narrow down and then plinges in a waterfall known as Dhuandhar or the smoke cascade. So powerful is the plunge that its roar is heard from a far distance, The falls and the breaking of the volume of water at the crest present an awesome spectacle of Nature's power unleashed.

CHAUSAT YOGINI TEMPLE

Situated atop a hill rock and approached by a long flight of steps,the Chausat Yogini   Temple commands a singularly beautiful view of the Narmada flowing through the jagged Marble Rocks.  Dedicated to Goddess Durga, this 10th century temple has exquisitely carved stone figures of deities belonging to the Kalchuri period. According to a local legend, this ancient temple is connected to the Gond Queen Durgavati's palace through an undergroung passage.

The Chausat Yogini temple, or the temple of 64 yoginis is situated atop a hill in Bhedaghat. It was built around 1000 AD by the then rulers who wished safety and prosperity of their kingdom. Tantric rites like Chakra puja were perfomed here. It is one of the rare temples of erstwhile Shakti worship.

One has to climb 150 plus steps to reach the temple. One can get views of the meandering Narmada from this hill temple. The froth from the Dhuandhar waterfall is also visible from this hill.

GWARIGHAT
 
Gwarighat is one of the Holy Ghats of the river Narmada. Performing Narmada Aarti in the evening makes all the wishes of the devotees come true. The experience of boating and visiting the Narmada Temple in the middle of the river drives the devotees to come here time and again.

BARGI DAM & TEMAR FALL
 
Bargi is a place on the shores of Narmada, south-west of Jabalpur, and around 40 km. away from main city.

From the Nagpur highway, NH7 an 11 km drive inwards leads to the beautiful and famous bargi dam. The small dam is a major source for water through its canals and of course, electricity.The site requires a mandatory entry of visitors at the 'naka' and the area is open for visitors till late evening.
 
Nearby is a stream of river which is a favourite picnic destination called Temar falls. The place is beautiful and serene and ideal for tourists and picnics. The waters at Temar are only knee deep and ideal for a whole day picnic. So dont forget your towels before you go! The nearby colony of Bargi nagar has all the amenities available and people are cooperative. It is however recommended that all needful things are carried like water bottles and food. Also, please keep the place clean!
 
Also worth visiting is the ancient and famous temple at the mountain-top. The approach to the top, is by stairs and also by well built road(even buses can go right to the top).The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and was reinstated in its present form and place by His Highness Sankaracharyaji.One can get a very beautiful view of the dam and catchment area from the temple.

One last thing, as usual, the road to Bargi from jabalpur is not very good at places, and is a frequent but green highway with steep curves, so drive carefully. There is a petrol pump near Tilwara bridge and a few kms away too, where you can also have food, tea etc. at the 'dhaba'. So, gear up your belts and have a great time.
