Hatkeshwar Temple
The Hatkeshwar Temple in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, is a revered Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated on the banks of the River Kharun, the temple is also known as Mahadev Ghat due to its location.
Built in 1402 by Hajiraj Naik during the reign of Brahmadeo Rai of the Kalachuri dynasty, the temple is an architectural gem that showcases intricate carvings and designs. The outer walls of the temple depict stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, along with images of animals, dancers, and musicians.
The inner sanctum houses a Shiva Linga, believed to have emerged naturally from the earth, which is worshipped with great devotion. The temple is surrounded by a large complex with a towering Shikhar and three circular domes.
Maha Shivratri, celebrated in the month of Shravan, is the main festival here, drawing devotees from across the region who offer milk, honey, bael leaves, and fruits to the deity. Visitors often purify themselves by bathing in the river before entering the temple, adding to the spiritual experience.
