In a remarkable initiative aimed to boost cultural and religious fervour, a 51-feet tall idol of ‘Bamhni Ki Maharani’ Mannat Wali Maa Sherawali has been installed at Gram Panchayat Bamhni, located in Barela, about 25 kilometres from the district headquarters Jabalpur. This is the tallest idol of the goddess to be installed in the district.

 

The installation has been spearheaded by Rameshwar Sahu, Vice-President of Janpad Panchayat Jabalpur, with the objective of making the upcoming Navratri celebrations a grand and memorable occasion for the local community. A team of skilled sculptors and artisans worked tirelessly for three months to construct this magnificent idol, reflecting fine craftsmanship and devotion.

 

The towering idol has already started attracting visitors from nearby villages and towns and is expected to become a centre of devotion and cultural festivities throughout the Navratri festival. Local residents have expressed their pride and joy at witnessing such a historic and grand creation in their village. Authorities are also making arrangements to ensure the safety and smooth management of the large gatherings anticipated during the festivities.
