Starting from: Bhilai

Destination: Raipur

Crew: Maneesh, Dr. Sharma, RK Sharma, Pratima and Vyas.

I was in my native place Bhilai and we planned this trip on January 6th. We took two bikes and started our journey to Raipur. Raipur is at a distance of about 30 km. from Bhilai. After some time we arrived at Kumhari. Kumhari is a town and a nagar panchayat in Durg district and is located at a distance of 13 km. from Bhilai. We stopped at Kumhari to see the Sri Adinath Jain Shwetambar Tirth. There is a series of Jain temples over here and this place is known as Kevalya Dham. All the small and the large temples here are built in marble. There is a large central structure followed by a series of small temples in a circle. On the side of the temples there are gardens in which marigold flowers are planted. The construction work was still going on at that time. After the construction you can expect this place to develop as a great tourist spot. Here are the photos of Kevalya Dham:
