Jabalpur is also called as “Sanskaardhani” by local people. Jabalpur is a city in Madhya Pradesh, India. It is said that sage Jabali stayed and did all his prayers at this place and it is named after him only. People in Jabalpur are very frank and helpful. Jabalpur is mainly known for its Military center and white marbles.
There are various places to see in Jabalpur which are described as follows:
Bhedaghat: This is the place where white marble rocks are found. Mainly it is a water fall where river Narmada comes with full force and falls down and creates a breezy smoke. People call it “dhuandhaar” also. This fall is surrounded by plenty of marble rocks. People staying near this place earn their livelihood by selling articles made of marbles such as God, Monuments, and Ornaments etc.
Panchvati: After Bhedaghaat River progresses towards Panchwati. One can go for boat rides, take bath or just sit aside and view the river. River stays here at full force and has whirls inside. That’s why none is allowed to boat alone or swim.
Gaurighat: It is a sacred ghaat with the temple of goddess Parvati & goddess Narmada. One side of river there are so many small temples and another side of river there is Gurudwara (worship place of Sikh community). One has to commute by boat to reach Gurudwara.
Devtal: This place has a small lake, hilltop and a temple of lord Hanumana. From the hilltop one can get a view of half Jabalpur. In the lake boating is allowed and one can go alone for boating without any fear.
