Ganga Maiya Temple is located in Jhalmala panchayat just 4 km east of Balod of Balod Tehsil, on Durg-Balod main road. It is 58 km from Durg and well connected by road and is a premium place of religious importance in Chhattisgarh.
The history behind the construction of the temple is also curious. Once a fisherman catching fish in the pond near the village encountered an idol that got caught in the net, along with the fish. However hard he tried to immerse the idol in water sifting it from his net, it just remained stuck inside. Frustrated, he went home. That very same night, a tribal villager, Gond had a dream about "I am being ignored by fishermen and take me out and get installed". Taking this as a sermon from the goddess, Gond, the tribal went to the pond the next morning and retrieving the idol, installed it in a 'kuccha' hut, near the village. As it was brought from water, hence the idol was named Ganga Maiya.

Though from a distance the entire ground looks like a tumble of big rocks in disarray, close inspection reveals a design: the layers of boulders around the menhirs can be found to be arranged in a pyramidal design gradually peaking at the top. These menhirs were further placed inclining towards the east or the west. This was done deliberately as it denoted the solar positions at the time of its erection. Thus these menhirs denote the exact period and time of the year when the person died. This is one of the unsung attractions of Chhattisgarh probably because of its unimposing appearance –as opposed to the ones at a Sirpur, Tala or Malhar. About 30 km from Dhamtari town along the Balod route (10 km from Dhamtari along Jagdalpur route, turn right at Gurur; 20 km from here Karkabhat comes to the right, about 13 km before Balod town.)

The Jain temple in Nagpura is dedicated to the 23rd Tirthankar (Jain saint) Parshwanath and commemorates the visit of the saint to the region 3,000 years ago. The temple is made of white marble, set on the top of a platform, the spires rise up prettily against the blue sky. Inside the temple are some elaborate chandeliers and shiny ornate lintels. Figures of deities and animals embellish the walls; images of other Tirthankars are also placed inside the sanctum. This temple is also known among devotees as Shri Uwassaggaharam Parshwa Tirth, shrine (‘Uwassaggaharam’ meaning the emancipator of all evils). An image of the saint’s footprint has been kept here on the right side of the entrance to the main temple. The campus also houses besides the main temple, accommodation facilities, an auditorium, a garden and half a dozen smaller temples. A scale model of the summit of the mythological Meru Parvat is interesting for the idols of all the 24 Tirthankars enshrined around it. The garden has marble statues of each of the Tirthankars with a short description of each of the saints engraved into the pedestal.
