Itkhori - Abode of magnificent temples
I came across a beautiful series of temples at Itkhori, Jharkhand. This place is an awesome mingling of Hindu, Jain and Buddhist deities. All the idols here have come from excavation.
Itkhori block is famous for the goddess Bhadrakali and Bhagwati. Goddess Kali is worshiped here as Jagdamba. People flock here to offer sacrifice and Mundan sanskar. It has a scenic beauty and is a very good picnic spot.
The most astonishing spot for me is the following:-
The water visible in this idol never vanishes. Even if we take out entire water from it, water reappears as soon as we put the stone back on it. I don’t know the scientific reason behind this phenomenon but people have very high religious faith associated with it.
