01 — The story

Barfani Dham, also known as Patal Bhairavi, is a temple in the town of Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh, 40 km from Durg on the road towards Nagpur. A large Shiva linga crowns the top of the building, and a big statue of Nandi stands in front of it.

The temple is built on three levels. The lowest holds the shrine of Patal Bhairavi; the middle level is the shrine of Navadurga, or Tripura Sundari; and the upper level belongs to Shiva.
