Bhairav Temple of Barsur


Hidden Hertiage in Bushes – Bhairav Temple of Barsur

Does not know how many historical heritage is hidden inside Barsur. Kedarnath Thakur had mentioned 147 temples and 147 ponds in ancient Barsur in his book, Bastar Bhushan. But many historical temples were destroyed in exterior attacks. The ruined remains due to the ignorance of the people have now become landless. Some of the demolished temples have been saved by the people here because of their faith. Nature also plays an important role in protecting those demolished temples from scattering.


Spanning the four-cornered bushes, they kept hidden the unseen history hidden from peoples. There is an ancient demolished temple near the Battisa Temple which is completely hidden in the bushes. This temple is very close to the main road. Even after several programs have been organized in Barasur till today, the shrubs around the temple have not been cut, due to which the people have no information about this temple. I have gone to Barasar several times. I had no information about this temple. Neither did I ever see any photo of it. I saw this temple for the first time. History is around us but it can not be seen. Very few people have seen this temple.



This demolished temple in the thick bush towards the right side Of Battisa Temple. Local residents here have preserved the stones of this temple. Now this temple is in the right condition rather than other demolished temples. It was a small temple which was based on the sanctum sanctorum. This temple is about 5 feet high. It can be entered only by sitting. Inside sanctum sanctorum, a nude image of Bhairava ​​has been kept.

Such a huge statue is set in the courtyard of Bhairam Baba Temple of Bhairamgarh. This temple will also have been built in approximately 10-11th century. The invaders have completely destroyed this temple. The villagers have kept this ancient heritage safe.


Even now many temples in Barasur are buried . Digging in Barasur, more ancient temples, statues, inscriptions can be found. Important information related to Naga Age and other dynasties may be obtained. Administration should also make an access route through cleanliness around such historic temples in Barasur. Administration should also be cleaned around such historic temples.
