barsur - Ganesh temple, Danewada District, Chhattisgarh


Twin Ganesh of Barsur (Barsoor) is famous for its historical significance. The city Barsur is named after king Banasur, who was great devotee of bhagwan Shiv. It is said that daughters of Banasur, Usha and his minister's daughter Chitralekha were best friends. They were devotee of Ganesha. So they asked their father to construct temple for them. They created this twin Ganesh Temple of Barsur.

यह मंदिर छत्तीसगढ़ के बारसूर में स्थित है। यहां बालू पत्थरों से निर्मित गणेश की दो विशालकाय प्रतिमाएं हैं, बड़ी मूर्ति लगभग साढ़े सात फीट की है और छोटी की ऊंचाई साढ़े पांच फीट है। एक ही मंदिर में गणेश की दो मूर्तियों का होना विलक्षण है। माना जाता है कि यह दुनिया की तीसरी सबसे बड़ी गणेश प्रतिमा है। कहा जाता है कि इस मंदिर को यहां के राजा ने अपनी बेटी के लिए बनवाया था।
बाणासुर ने बनवाया था मंदिर
राजा बाणासुर का वर्णन पुराणों में मिलता है, उनके नाम पर ही इस नगर का नाम बारसूर पड़ा। राजा की बेटी उषा और उनके मंत्री की बेटी चित्रलेखा आपस में पक्की सहेलियां थीं। दोनों गणेश जी की भक्त थीं पर आस-पास गणेश जी का कोई मंदिर नहीं था। इस वजह से दोनों मन ही मन गणेश जी की अराधना करती थी। उषा ने मंदिर न होने की बात अपने पिता से कही। फिर क्या था बाणासुर ने दोनों सहेलियों के लिए गणेश जी की मूर्तियों का निर्माण करा दिया। दोनों सहेलियां रोज उस मंदिर में गणेश जी की पूजा करने जाया करती थीं। कहा जाता है कि गणपति उषा और चित्रलेखा की साधना से प्रसन्न हुए थे और तब से यहां आने वाले अपने सभी भक्तों की हर कामना पूरी करते हैं।

Metro Railway Projects of Chhattisgarh



New Metro line is proposed between Rajnandgaon-Bhilai-Raipur-Naya Raipur. It is 80 Kms link.
First phase work will start with Bhilai-Raipur connectivity.



Chhattisgarh government's move to modernize mass transport system for its capital and adjoining cities got a shot in the arm with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) giving a final nod for construction of the inter-state metro rail link connecting Raipur and Durg. DMRC completed the feasibility study and has recommended for a detailed project report (DPR) that would see the metro rail chugging out of the city by 2021.
