| Marble
Rocks at Bhedaghat Jabalpur: |
| Soaring glittering
splendour, the Marble Rocks at Bhedhaghat rise to a hundred
feet on either side of the Narmada. The serene loveliness
of the scene is one of cool quiet, the sunlight sparkling
on the marble white pinnacles and casting dappled shadows
on the pellucid waters. |

Marble
Rocks: The perpendicular
magnesium limestone rocks fringe the crystal clear
placid waters of the Narmada providing a fascinating
site, Boating facilities are available between November-
May. Boating on a moolit night, when the whole stretch
of water is transformed into a sheet of liquid silver
is absolutely magical, in the narrow channel of
the mighty river, there is a place approached so
cosely from the opposite banks that the local people
have aptly named it the ‘Monkey’s Leap’
(Bundar kudni)
Dhuandhar
Falls: The Narmada, Making its way
through the Marble Rocks, narrows down and then
plunges in a waterfall know as Dhundhar of the smoke
cascade. So powerful is the plunge that its roar
is heard from a far distance. The falls and the
breaking of the volume of water at the crest present
an awesome spectacle of Nature’s power unleashed.
Chausat Yogni Temple:
Situated atop a hillock and approached by long
flight of steps, the chausat Ygni Temple commands
a singularly beautiful vies of the Narmda Flowing
through the jagged Marble Rocks. Dedicated to
goddess Durga, This 10th Century temple has exquisitely
carved stone figures of deities belonging of the
kalchuri period. According to a local legend,
this ancient temple is connected to the Gound
Queen Durgawati’s palace through an underground
passage. |
