Danteshwari Temple
Ancient temple dedicated to Goddess Danteshwari, a significant pilgrimage site in Bastar.
Dussehra (Vijayadashami) falls on Tuesday, 20 October 2026 across Dakshin Bastar Dantewada district and the rest of Chhattisgarh.
Bastar Dussehra runs about seventy-five days and is tied to Danteshwari rather than to the Ramayana — the longest observance of the festival anywhere.
The regional form observed across Bastar, Chhattisgarh. How any one household or village keeps it varies, and is not something recorded here.
The Danteshwari temple at Dantewada is counted among the Shakti Peethas and is the seat of the goddess the whole Bastar Dussehra is addressed to. Her chhatra travels to Jagdalpur for the festival and returns afterwards, which is the thread tying the seventy-five days together.
