The state abounds with stories of Ram, Laxman and Sita living in exile in the forests of Chhattisgarh. Stories and songs inspired by Lord Ram have been narrated and sung in communities here and passed on through generations.
Chhattisgarh Tourism Board (CTB) is using the auspicious occasion of Navratri to introduce their new tourism circuit that follows the path travelled by Lord Ram in the region of Chhattisgarh during his exile from Ayodhya: The Ram Van Gaman Path.
In the first phase of this project, the plan is to develop the nine spots that fall on the forested route that Lord Ram traversed. These sites include Sitamarhi- Harchowka, Ramgarh, Shivrinarayan, Turturiya, Chandkhuri, Rajim, Sihawa, Jagdalpur and Ramaram.
