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 are adjacent to the temple where Mata touched her feet and fell 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]

Jatmai Waterfall

Jatmai Waterfall[10] is a seasonal monsoon attraction located in the Gariaband district. Its popularity stems from its proximity to Raipur and Bhilai, making it a perfect one-day outing destination.

Ideal for a picnic with family and friends, the waterfall cascades beautifully in steps, creating a picturesque view. Situated just below a temple, the serene surroundings and natural beauty make Jatmai Waterfall a truly charming and refreshing escape.
