Amarkantak Narmada Udgam Temple

Amarkantak is the sacred origin point of the Narmada River, one of India's seven holy rivers. The Narmada Udgam (source) temple complex sits at 1,065 meters on the Maikal Hills at the meeting point of the Vindhya and Satpura ranges. The Narmada Kund (pool) here is the source from which the river emerges. The complex includes ancient temples dating from the Kalachuri period (10th-11th century), the Pataleshwar Mahadev Temple, and the Kapil Dhara and Dugdh Dhara waterfalls nearby. Amarkantak is also the source of the Sone and Johila rivers.
