Summary
| Description |
English: Amarkantak is a scenic hill top pilgrimage town where Vindhya, Maikal and Satpura mountain ranges meet in east Madhya Pradesh, India. It is the source of two important rivers – Narmada heading west, and Sone heading northeast to meet the Ganga river. For nearly two millennium, Amarkantak has found mention in Indian literature as a Hindu and Jain religious site. Many historic Shaiva, Vaishnava, Shakta and Svetambara-Jain temples are found here, as well as major Dharmashalas built by communities from South, North, West and East India. Some of the temples built here prior to 15th-century have served as the inspiration for stone temples along the Narmada river and terracotta temples found in Bengal and Assam region. |
