To the sacred wonders

Your journey through Dongargarh begins with its crown jewel – the magnificent Bambleshwari Temple perched atop a 1,600-foot hill. But here's what makes this temple complex truly special: it's actually two temples in one. You'll find the Badi Bambleshwari majestically positioned on the hilltop, while its smaller counterpart, Chhoti Bambleshwari, sits at a distance from the main complex.

As you venture further, the mystical Maa Patal Bhairavi Temple awaits, where devotees gather to worship a powerful form of Goddess Kali. For a different perspective on spirituality, make your way to Chandragiri Hill, where a beautiful Jain temple, established with the guidance of Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Ji Maharaj, stands as a testament to the town's religious diversity.

But that's not all. As you explore the area, you'll be struck by an impressive 30-foot Buddha statue on Pragyagiri Hill, visible from all six of the town's main hills. Don't miss the ancient statue of Lord Teerthankara Chandraprabhuji while you're here, for it's a remarkable piece of history that adds to Dongargarh's rich spiritual canvas.

A chance to learn the art of slow travelling

Beyond its sacred temples and historic sites, Dongargarh invites you to embrace a slower, more mindful way of exploring. Take time to wander through the town's winding lanes, where wooden homes tell stories of generations past. You'll find yourself naturally slowing down as you watch farmers tend to their colourful patchwork of fields, each season painting the landscape in different hues. If you are someone simply looking to escape the city's chaos, Dongargarh's gentle pace and natural beauty offer you the perfect setting to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.
