During the Hindu festival of [[Navratri]], this place is very crowded. Many worshipers of Maa Durga come here to every year to celebrate the Navratri. Navratri is celebrated twice a year i.e. in the Hindu month of Chaitra and Kunwar. During these nine days devotes keep fasting and thousands of people visit this place barefoot and they come by walking from long distance.<br /> <br /> The Hindu temple of Ganga Maiya was converted into the [[Catholic church]], dedicated to [[Saint Andrew]], an apostle, but the structure of the ancient Hindu temple was maintained.<br /> <br /> Masses are every Sundays, but especially on the day of the patron saint of the church.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[List of Hindu temples in India]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://durg.nic.in/tou.htm#jhal &quot;Ganga Maiya Temple JHALMALA&quot;]<br /> <br /> {{coord missing|Chhattisgarh}}<br /> {{Hindu temples in Chhattisgarh}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Hindu temples in Chhattisgarh]]<br /> [[Category:Balod district]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Chhattisgarh-geo-stub}}</div>
