Travel Tips Of Dholkal Ganesh
Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, India
Sub Place Details: Dholkal Ganesh is perhaps the most mystical and awe-inspiring archaeological site in the entire state of Chhattisgarh. Perched at a staggering altitude of 3,000 feet on a narrow peak within the Bailadila range, there sits a magnificent 11th-century stone idol of Lord Ganesha. The idol was "rediscovered" by a journalist in 2012, though it has been worshipped by the local Bhogami tribe for centuries. The trek to reach this site is a thrilling 7-kilometer journey through dense, deciduous forests, home to diverse wildlife and ancient trees. Legend has it that a fierce battle took place on this very peak between Lord Parshuram and Lord Ganesha. It is said that Parshuram threw his axe (Farsa) at Ganesha, which broke one of his tusks, leading to the name "Ekdanta." The idol itself is a masterpiece of ancient stone carving, surviving the elements for a millennium without a roof. Reaching the summit provides a 360-degree view of the vast, green Bastar jungle, making it a spiritual and adventurous pilgrimage. The silence at the top, punctuated only by the whistling wind, creates an atmosphere of deep serenity. This site is managed with the help of local tribal guides who ensure the safety of trekkers and the preservation of the idol. The mystery of how such a heavy stone idol was transported to such a precipitous height a thousand years ago remains one of the greatest unsolved puzzles of Indian archaeology.
