Introduction and History in Brief
Dholkal Ganesh Temple is a Hindu Temple dedicated to the Lord Ganesha located near Dantewada Town in Dantewada District in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. The Temple is situated at a height of 3000 feet from sea level on top of the hill amidst the lush green forests of Bailadila ranges.
As per the locals’ belief, a battle occurred between Lord Ganesha and sage Parashurama on Dholkal hill a long time back. This was a fierce battle in which Parashurama attacked Ganesha with his farsa or axe. That’s how the village located at the base of the hill came to be called Farsapal. As for who won the battle between the two personalities, it is still a mystery.
In memory of the battle between Parashurama and Ganesha, the kings of Chindak Nagvanshi dynasty set a stone idol of Lord Ganesha at the hilltop in the 11th century. The 2.5 to 3 ft idol has been carved in the shape of a dholak, a musical instrument commonly used in classical music; hence, the hill has been named dholkal. The idol depicts Ganesha seated in his typical lalitasana or playful and easygoing posture. The local inhabitants worship the idol of Ganesha throughout the year, and a special fair is held at this site in the month of Magha, between January-February.
