Mahakali Temple of Devi
Mahakali Mandir (temple) in Chandrapur is an icon for Chandrapur. It is symbolic to Chandrapur city and it has prominent place in the hearts of people of Chandrapur. Devotees visit Mahakali Mandir every day, but Tuesdays are special days to visit Mahakali Mandir. There is a small Ganesha temple and Hanuman temple inside the Mahakali Mandir premises. There are two entrances for the temple. The rear entrance has Ganesha and Hanuman temple. Both the entrances have small shops for pooja supplies like coconut, flowers and cloth. There is also Shani(Saturn) temple, next to the rear entrance.
There are two idols (murtis) in the Mahakali Mandir. One standing murti is the main idol decorated with red, yellow and orange coloured cloths. The main idol is also associated with Shiva Linga. The second murti is in reclining position. The second idol is actually below the ground level and to reach there, devotes need to walk into a kind of tunnel path.
Inside the temple, the priest will be always there to assist us with pooja and offerings. Every year, there is a fair during the month of April, when all the devotes from different parts of state visit the Mahakali Mandir.
The annual fair (Jatra) that used to happen in the month of April, used to be a big festival for the devotees of Mahakali and also for Chandrapur people. There used to be lots of activities and events, for all the ages and used to be a time for joy and fun for all the people.
