It is a symbol. Lord Shri Ram has settled in the culture and tradition of Chhattisgarh. The day begins here with the chant of Jai Siya Ram. The main reason for this is that for the people of Chhattisgarh, Shri Ram is not only a faith, but he is also a state of life and an ideal system. In Chhattisgarh, he is worshiped as a nephew. Just 27 KM from Raipur. Situated at a distance of Chandkhuri, Arang is believed to be the birthplace of Mata Kaushalya and the maternal grandmother of Shri Ram. The ancient name of Chhattisgarh is Dakshin Kosal. Ayodhya is the birthplace of Raghukul Shiromani Shri Ram but Chhattisgarh is his Karmabhoomi. During the exile period, while traveling from Ayodhya to Prayagraj, Chitrakoot Satna, Shri Ram reached Dakshin Kosal i.e. Bharatpur in Koriya district of Chhattisgarh and crossed the Mawai river and entered Dandakaranya. He rested at Sitamarhi-Harchuka, a natural cave temple built on the banks of river Mavai. In this way, the first stop of Ramchandra ji’s exile in Chhattisgarh is considered to be Sitamarhi-Harchouka near Bharatpur. Many incidents of Ramayana period have happened in the holy land of Chhattisgarh, the evidence of which is folk culture, folk art, legend and folklore. In the first phase under Ram Van Gaman tourism circuit, Sitamarhi-Harchuka (District Korea), Ramgarh (District Surguja), Shivrinarayan (District Janjgir-Champa), Turturia (District Balodabazar), Chandkhuri (District Raipur), Rajim (District Gariaband) ), Saptarishi Ashram Sihawa (District Dhamtari), Jagdalpur and Ramaram (District Sukma) are being developed. Sitamarhi of Koriya district is also famous as the first stop of Ramchandra’s exile period. Ramgiri mountain is mentioned in mythological and historical texts. This is the Ramgiri-Ramgarh mountain of Surguja district. The theater of Sitabengra-Jogimara cave located here is considered to be the oldest theater in the world. It is believed that Sita ji had spent some time here with Ramchandra ji during the forest movement, hence the name of this cave was Sitabengra. Shivnath, the Triveni confluence of leech and Mahanadi is Shivrinarayan, full of natural beauty in Janjgir-Champa district. Due to the relation of this Vishnukakshi pilgrimage to Shabari and Narayan, it is called Shabari Narayan or Shivrinarayan. It is believed that at this place, Mata Shabari had fed sweet berries to Ramchandra ji after tasting berry out of love. There is a temple of Nar-Narayan and Mata Shabari, near which there is such a banyan tree, whose leaves are in the shape of two. After the completion of development work in Shivrinarayan after Chandkhuri, a new chain of tourist pilgrimages has started taking shape in the state.
