Chatra
Chatra, the gateway of Jharkhand
particularly of Chotanagpur, has a glorious past having an eminent
historical heritage. It is about 35 km east of Chatra and 16 km west
of Chauparan and is located on the Chatra-Chauparan road. This
historical place has some Buddhist relics. There is an ancient
Bhadrakali temple just half a kilometer away on the bank of river
Mahanad, near Itkhori. An idol of Sahasralinga Shiva with an inscription
on its pedestal is another interest. At the top of the idol there is a
cavity where water percolates and it is still unknown that where it
comes from.
Chatra Bus Station is about 35 km south of Bhaduli, and Gaya Junction
Railway Station is the nearest railhead. |
