Temple in Lavan mandal

The principal temple recorded for Lavan mandal is The Sheorinarayana Temple, together with ruined brick temples in the same compound and the inscription built into the wall of the Chandrachuda temple. No temple of this dedication is on record within Bhadra itself.

Dussehra (Vijayadashami) in 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.
