Travel Tips Of Ram Tekri Temple

Ratanpur, Chhattisgarh, India
The Ram Tekri Temple is a serene and historically significant shrine dedicated to Lord Rama, located atop a small hill (tekri) on the periphery of Ratanpur. It is also sometimes referred to as Ramtekri Mandir or Ramtekri Fort Temple (confusing it with the one in Nagpur). The temple is widely believe d to have been constructed during the reign of the Maratha ruler Bimbaji Bhosle in the 18th century. This association stems from the presence of the Maratha ruler's image, often depicted standing in front of Lord Rama with folded hands, signifying his deep devotion. The hilltop location not only adds to the spiritual peace but also offers a beautiful panoramic view of the ancient Ratanpur town and its surrounding landscape of water bodies and greenery. While the temple's history is linked to the later Maratha period, the site itself holds mythological significance, with local legends suggesting it is a spot where Lord Rama might have rested during his exile (vanavasa), further cementing its religious importance, especially among devotees of Lord Rama. The temple is a tranquil spot, contrasting with the busy main town temples.
