Tulsi village beckons you

Witness Lord Shri Ram, Lakshman, Mata Sita crossing the sacred Ganges through Tulsi village’s enchanting sculpture

In Chhattisgarh’s village Tulsi, near Shivnath River, a stunning sculpture inspired by the events of the Ramayana has been created. The sculpture brings to life the enthralling story of Lord Shri Ram, Lakshman, and Mata Sita crossing the sacred Ganges during their exile with the help of Nishad Raj. Tulsi village is home to temples and shrines located in every nook and corner, which attracts visitors and devotees all through the year. Hence, the Chhattisgarh Government is developing Tulsi village as a popular tourist destination. A project plan is being chalked out for this purpose. Visitors can enjoy a tranquil atmosphere at this temple in Tulsi village that is surrounded by trees and plants and is located on the banks of the Shivnath river. Adjacent to the temple, beneath the Muktidham, is 'Ramghat Pushpasthali' where the village residents and devotees engage in activities including sacred bathing, meditation, offering prayers, and performing ash immersion rituals. Presently, villagers have also initiated the Shivnath Ganga Aarti from Cherchera Punni, which takes place at various times throughout the day. At the heart of the village stands a temple dedicated to Maa Mahamaya, radiating her divine presence. Heading north, near the village pond, lies a Jaitkham dedicated to Baba Guru Ghasidas Ji and a grand temple and ashram. Every January, a fair is organized here, attracting followers of the Satnami sect. Tulsi village is also home to folk artistes performing various traditional genres including Ramayana Mandalis, Ramleela, Satnam Dhuni, GauraGauri, Jasgeet, Bansgeet, Raut Nacha, Sua, Gadwa Baja, Phag geet, Nacha, and Chandaini.
