Imagine a state so vast that it touches ancient Magadha and Awadh in the north to classical Andhradesha in the south, and has borders with the maximum number of states in India. Imagine a state which has one of the most pristine forest covers of all of India, the most amazing ghats, the most diverse climate zones, and some of the purest rivers running through it. Imagine a state which features prominently in Hindu cosmology, where great rishis wrote Upanishads; and where one of the greatest bhakti saints was born. Imagine a state which was the center of great classical Hindu kingdoms like Haihaya and Kalachuris on one hand; and which also was a hideout of many Hindu armies that fled Islamic persecution on the other. 

A state which is the hidden gem of Hindu temple architecture; where you find the earliest brick temples, along with some of the most beautiful stone temples in sandstone; but where you also find some of the most fascinating innovations in contemporary architecture; where you find great nagara temples, but also examples of pure Dravida style temples. Imagine a state where one of the most beautiful Shree Rama temples ever built is still in continuous worship, and where great Kumbhs are held around a Shiva temple, apart from all other Kumbs and Ardha Kumbhs that we know of. 

A state where Margiya and Desiya culture come together so beautifully, that a tribal goddess of some of the densest jungles of India is also worshipped as the form of the great goddess Shakti. Imagine a state where nature and culture come together so seamlessly that every large temple still has a functioning lake and a sacred grove around it. A state where the longest civilizational continuities exist, along with the greatest of contemporary innovations. 

Imagine all of this together!
Imagine Chhattisgarh!
