Jatmai Mata Mandir or Jatmayi Temple[1] is a Hindu temple of Goddess Durga ji located in Gariaband district,[2] 80 km from state capital Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India.[3] [4] The water streams just adjacent to the temple of Mata touch her feet and fall down from the rocks.[5] According to local beliefs, these water streams are the servants of the mother. Every year a fair is organized in the temple of Mata in the Navratri of Chaitra and Kunwar.[6]
This temple of Jatmai Mata is built between the waterfalls; hence it is also one of the most popular picnic spots in Chhattisgarh.[7] [8]
There is also another temple named Ghatarani temple, located 25 km from the Jatamai Mata Mandir.[9]
