Jatmai Mata Temple

Jatmai Temple is located in Gariaband, 85 km from Raipur. 

Set amongst the beautiful locales of a small forest, Jatmai Temple is dedicated to Mata Jatmai. The temple is beautifully carved out of granite with numerous small shikharas or towers and a single huge tower. 

On top of the main entrance, one can see murals depicting mythological characters. The stone idol of Jatmai is placed inside the sanctum. 

The Jatmai Temple wears a decorative look on special festive occasions like Navaratri which is celebrated with much enthusiasm and devotion. 

But what makes this place more attractive is the beautiful waterfall flowing adjacent to the temple. After monsoons, the waterfall is in full flow making this destination a preferred picnic spot for the whole family. The waterfall plunges into a natural pool that is the best place to take a dip before entering into the temple. The more adventurous can take a hike into the forest.
