Mama-Bhanja temple of Barsur village in the Bastar district of Chhattisgarh state, about 90 km from Jagdalpur.This temple is associated with an interesting story. A king wanted to establish a Shiva temple on one strange condition -- the temple was to be completed within one day only. This was practically impossible, so no temple builders dare to come forward. The king was very depressed. One day two men, maternal uncle (Mama) and nephew (Bhanja) in relation, came to the king and offered to construct the temple in one day. The king was astonished, but gave permission. And what a miracle, Mama-Bhanja pair could complete the temple in one day.The King was extremely pleased and in honour of the two great artisans he named the temple Mama-Bhanja temple. He did another job to honour the awesome duo. He placed their statues near the top of the temple.The temple :The temple is a Nagara type of temple with a raised platform and a curvilinear Shikhar or pinnacle. The walls and the Shikhar are covered with extensive stone carvings. Most notable is a series of KIRTIMUKHA sculptures on the outer walls.The sanctum now houses two idols - that of Lord Ganesha and Nrusingha Deva, but these look like a later addition.It is a nice temple to visit.

The Archaeological Treasures of Barsur: What is now a small sleepy village was once the center of power during the tenure of the Gangawanshi rulers in as early as 840 A.D, and was the capital of Nagvanshi kings.   Situated on the banks of Indravati river, this ancient town is loaded with temples that come with magnificent and alluring architecture It is believed that there used to be 147 temples and equal number of ponds during the glory days of Barsoor. Unfortunately most of them have been buried or left to decay gradually over the last dozen centuries. But still the ruins of the temples that have been restored are absolutely worth a trip to this much ignored architectural treasure of India.Highlights are the  Mama Bhanja temple that is very well maintained and has a thousand stories to tell through the carvings on it’s walls. The Chandraditya temple with its exquisite sculptures. And the characterful Battisa temple with gorgeous mandapas and stone blocks. Hope the Archaeological society of India turns its attention towards this region and unearths other marvellous structures that are still hidden under the ground! #Chattisgarh #LostTemples  #IncredibleIndia

Mama Bhanja Temple is a temple in Barsur, chhattisgarh. The temple is dedicated to God shiva According to a legend, the task to create this temple was given to two people who were related (Mama is maternal uncle and Bhanja is the nephew). Surprisingly, the two men were able to complete in a day and hence the temple was given this name.Temple is now maintained by the (Archeological survey of india)

11th century Lord Shiva temple built by Nagavanshi kings.Architecture is awesome resembles Puri temple. Stone tablet with Telugu inscription is placed in front of temple. But the name of the temple is not apt. Never heard such a weird temple name mama-bhanja , main deity Shiva Lingam is missing inside but there are two small sculptures of God Vinayaka & Narasimha swamy.

This north Indian style is unique here as the architecture was more popular in 5th to 7 century AD times and temples here are from 11th century... the small outer pyramid structure has excellent designs which is similar to the temples of Badami and Aihole.Inner sculpture is missing with small lotus flower on the ceiling of sanctum.

Historical temple.. peaceful atmosphere..

Its nice Historical place,

Very old archeological site needs attention from Government, Society, & Tourism. Shows pride history of CHHATTISGARH not a conflict ridden state. Please increase the tourism in the state.Thousands year old inscriptions are present , which are still unreadable, shows a variable ancient history of the region, foreign archeologist should definitely come and see what are behind these treasures of age. tq

Mama Bhanja Temple is one of them, amazing beauty is seen in the rainy season.The symbol resembling the symbolic Ganesha in the dome of the temple is amazing.

Mama Bhanja Temple

Barsur is a mythological city that has been immortal for four ages. The king of Barsur was the demon Asura Raj Banasura, who was the ultimate devotee of Lord Shiva. He built 147 temples and 147 ponds in Barsoor. All the temples of Barsur were tall and huge like the Mama Bhacha Temple. Over time many temples have collapsed due to lack of care. Yet dozens of temples are still worth seeing. Along with them, the Satadhar Waterfall, Indravati River and Barsoor pond are also worth visiting.
