Raipur Heritage Walk – A Walk to the Purani Basti

About the walk

“A concerted effort to preserve our heritage is a vital link to our cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational and economic legacies – all of the things that quite literally make us who we are.” - Steve Berry

Purani Basti in Raipur, Chhattisgarh is considered to be one of the oldest known civilisations of modern India. Meaning "old colony" in Hindi, it was one of the richest centres of culture in central India. It houses many museums and ancient buildings that are representative of the Stone Age.

Turi Hatri is known to be the first commercial fruit/vegetable market of the area. Also known as the parent of the barter system of exchange, it also houses the world's first underground museum.

Places we will visit during the walk include Neelabh Garden, Kille wale Baba ki Dargah, Budhueswar Temple, Seetla Mata Temple, Mahamaya Temple, Naagridas Temple, Jaiutsav Math and Turi Hatri (Purani Basti)

 

This guided tour is free.
