A very famous and one of the holiest temples in Chhattisgarh. It's a "shaktipeeth", here the tooth of Devi Sati is believed to have fallen. Must visit this temple in Dantewada if you visit Jagdalpur. The road is awesome. Place is beautiful, lush greenery. The confluence of Sankini-Dankini rivers is just behind the temple.

when Lord Shiva performed his Tandav that destroyed most of the Universe, a part of 52 pieces of Maa Durga - Tooth ( Daant ) fell at the confluence of rivers Shankini & Dankini. Hence, this place got the status of a Shakti Peeth, whereat Maa Danteshwari is worshipped.

It is a beautiful Temple divided into four parts - Sabha Mandap, Maha Mandap, Mukhya Mandap and Sanctum Sanctorum. Males can enter the Mukhya Mandap only after wearing a Dhoti ( provided free by the Temple ).
