The Holy River Narmada' Story!!!!

Hi All,

I wanted to share the glory of Narmada River.

The Narmada River is considered the mother and giver of peace. Legend has it that the mere sight of this river is enough to cleanse one’s soul, as against a dip in the Ganga or seven in the Yamuna. The Ganga is believed to visit this river once a year, in the guise of a black cow to cleanse herself of all her collected sins. All along the river, one will be always close to teak jungles. Apart from teaks, India’s best hardwood forests are found in the Narmada river basin and they are much older than the ones in the Himalayas.

There is the Chausath Yogini (sixty-four yoginis) temple above the lower end of the gorge. The attendants of Durga are represented here. Although the images have been damaged, they still retain their pristine beauty.

The city of Jabalpur is the second largest in Madhya Pradesh after Bhopal. The metropolis itself stands in a rock basin about 10 km away from the Narmada. Named after a saint called Jabali who lived here, Jabalpur is famous for its marble rocks.

When I was in Jabalpur my family we use to go to Narmada River for Snana on every Amavasya and Purima.Near Jabalpur Bedaghat is famous vista point for Narmada River.It is called as Dhuadhaar.

How many of you ever visited Dhuadhaar?

Hi Namita
Welcome to IL. I did not visit Dhuadhaar. This is a good information that you have shared.
Thanks for the same

Hi,

My trip of Jabalpur was marvelous and memorable.

Jabalapur Bhedaghat and Dhuandhar waterfall on Narmada Dam always a part of discussion whenever we discussed anything about Madhya Pradesh.But roads of MP are pathetic.And it is also a glaring example of inefficiency and lack of planning by MP Tourism.

So far I can say,Jabalapur Bhedaghat and Dhuandhar waterfall is beautiful place to plan trip.I have captured the beauty of Narmada River,Jabalapur Bhedaghat and Dhuandhar waterfall as pictures.
