Cheliama
Cheliama has remnants of the contemporary civilization of the 17th century. The terracotta art and carvings around the temples are seen there. The well-known Radha-GovindaTemple in Cheliama is nearby showing culture prevalent in the contemporary era
Deulghat
Deulghat is the land of temples.The place is home to about 15 temples near the Kansai River.The architecture of the temple reflects the traditional culture of the contemporary people.Today there is nothing but ruins left in the temple. But still the place is visited by many peopple who are interested.
Saheb Bandh
Saheb Bandh is spread over a 50-acre lake .It is believed to have been built during the mid-19th century.
It is believed that the convicts of Colonel Tikley, dug this water body. They started in 1843. It took five years to complete . Today, it is also a temporary home for migratory birds from Baluchistan, Siberia and
various places. So, Saheb Bandh is an ideal retreat.
Ayodhya Hill
Purulia offers mountaineering and rock climbing - Ayodhya Hill. Around 700 m high, the hill is a perfect blend of pristine nature and rich mythological interests. The place is also famous for its fresh water springs and stream.
Para Para reminds you of the advent of Muslims to the east. The region houses two pre-Muslim deuls - while one is in sync with the temple in Deulghat, the other belongs to a later period. Both of them show an excellent example of the grand architecture and fine cravings with a beauty of their own.
Garh
Panchakot at Purulia is situated on the slopes of Panchet Hill and
adjacent to Panchet Lake, is a scenic hilly forested area, with a tinge
of history.
It was a fortified area owned by the Rajas of Panchakot, the Singh Deo dynasty. Their antiquity and history are still to be ascertained properly. The family is reputed to have been established in 90 AD. They were possibly linked with the Tilkampa dynasty. The ruins of Telkupi, an ancient Jain centre, were submerged when Panchet Dam was built. It is said that the Singh Deos lost out to Bir Hambir of Bishnupur Raj around 1600 AD, albeit for a short period. The Maratha raiders, locally known as Bargis, ransacked the place in the 18th century. The Singh Deo family, ultimately, moved out to Kashipur, now in Purulia district.
It is about 250 km from Kolkata by road. The drive is of 5-6 hours. It is 56 km from Dhanbad.
