Visit the mystery Ganesh statue on Dholkal Hill in Chhattisgarh

                           DHOLKAL GANESH  


                                        

Restoring an ancinent piece of history 
dholkal ganesh is set on top of the faraspal
mountain in Dantewada district 
dantewada is roughly 350kms from the 
capital raipur .
it is believed that the ganesh statue which stands
at a height of 3000 feet was build in the 9th century
built out of granite stone , this statue is 3 feet 
in height and 3.5feet in widht .


                           


It is believed that the greate battle between 
ganeshji and parshuramji had happened here
parshuram was the avatar of vishnu and with 
the blessings of Shiviji, he had won a huge battle
that was the reason why he had gone to thank 
shivji, but ganeshji stopped him form going 
inside and due to this , they fought a greate battle
during the battle parshuramji cut ganeshji's 
tooth with his iron weapon that is why if you have noticed 
, whenever you see a ganeshji's statue, his one tooth is cut in half and it is said that this iron weapon had fallen down the mountains and since then it is said that these mountains are made out of iron.
 

                            


to reach the peak of dholkal, one has to do a 5km trek 
during this trek, you get to see a dense jungle , waterfalls 
long proproots of ancient trees and human
sized ant hills this trek is very popular among tourists
and locals.

                           

In 2012 , pieces of the statue were found 
littered around the base of the hill

 Rising up to the need of the hour , local 
government authorities left no stone unturned to find the 
missing piece  and restored the statue in just a week .
                         

 The Ganesh statue was beautiful before also 
but i think this story just adds to the beauty even more 

 This story of dholkal ganesh is an amazing example of devotion and strength.
