Rajim
Sub Place Details: Rajim is a holy town located at the confluence of three rivers: the Mahanadi, Pairi, and Sondur. This confluence is known as the Triveni Sangam, making it one of the most sacred pilgrimage sites in India. The town is famous for its ancient temples that date back to the 7th and 8th centuries. The most prominent among them is the Rajiv Lochan Temple, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The spiritual energy of this place is palpable, especially during the Rajim Kumbh Mela. Thousands of devotees flock here to take a holy dip in the river waters. The town serves as a gateway to the tribal culture of Chhattisgarh. Its historical importance is reflected in the intricate carvings and stone inscriptions found throughout the temple complex. Rajim is often compared to Varanasi due to its riverside ghats and religious fervor. The town is not just a religious site but also an archaeological treasure trove. The blend of nature and spirituality here provides a deeply moving experience for every traveler. :
