Introduction and History in Brief
The ancient temple Shiva-Durga and Maa Sonakshi(Form of Maa Durga)is situated in the temple groups of Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh.
As the name suggests, this temple was constructed in honour of Goddess Sonakshi. The temple is flocked by thousands of tourists during the festival of Navratri because it is believed that Goddess Sonakshi blesses everyone who visits her during that time of the year. The locales around the temple are lovely and the temple gives a beautiful view of Son River and the nearby kund. There is a pathway that leads to the tourists to the border of the hillside, and this hillside is flanked by the exquisite Satpura hill ranges making for a magnificent backdrop.
Sonmuda is the place of origin of Sone River. It is situated at a distance of 1.5 km from Narmadakund at the very edge of Maikal Mountain. The Sone River cascades from the mountain in a waterfall hundreds of feet long. As we stand on the viewing platform facing east, we see a panorama of forested hills and valleys. According to Megasthanes and other Aryan writers the river Sone gets its name from gold as the gold dust is found in the water of Sone.
On Mahashivratri, umpteen devotees throng the temple with prayers on their mind and offering on their hands. People come from various places to get Shiva’s Blessings and they observe a holy vibe surrounding in this auspicious occasion. Fairs have been organised and people often fast on the night of Shivratri and sing hymns and praises in the name of Lord Shiva. Large carcades are carried out within the city with people thronging the streets to catch a glance of the venerate idol of Mahadeva.
