I got an opportunity to visit the Vaishnav Devi Dham in Sungarha (Sumarha) village on 25th Oct 2014. On the way to the Dham around 8 kms from Katni I noticed a board mentioning the begining of Panna Forest Resevre which is frequented by many wild animals.
When I reached Sungarha I stopped at Hardua Mod at a shop and asked for a tea. I threw many questions to the pwople to gather some knowledge about the temple and its history. There I got to know that the temple was constructed 15 yrs back but this place has been considered divine from generations. I got Chunni and Prasad from there and parked my bike next to the shop. Mr. Kushwaha, a villager told that he was going to the temple and he would accompany me.
On the way he told me that a Panda gaurds the place 24X7. Also he told me that a festival is organised every year on 1st January and people from all villages assemble here making a huge crowed to show their faith in Maa Vaishnav.
From the main gate you will be walking through a nice pavement and climb around 200 steps to reach the temple. There is a Baba Bhairavnath Mandir behind Maa Vaishnav Devi Mandir. This area comes under Panna reserve and coincidently, while returing I spotted 2 nos. of beautiful dears crossing the road before me. It was near Madhur Warehouse, around 5 kms from Sungarha.
Maa Vaishnav Devi Dham is located in a complete green and clean hillock of Sungarha village in Panna road (SH-10) which is 15 kms away from maddening crowed of Katni town. This Dham is nicely fenced and no vehicles are allowed inside the gate. The forrest is natural but govt has also planted some trees to enhence its greenery making it a great picnic spot near Katni.

I got an opportunity to visit the Vijayraghavgarh Fort on 22nd October 2014. This fort is located in Vijayraghavgarh Town (35 kms from Katni). Katni district has a history of glorious past and this beautiful fort is another example of that.
In front of the fort is the croweded town of Vijayraghavgarh and on other sides is the lush green jungle. In front of the fort there is a small temple having bright white marble Shivling behind which is located another beautiful Shiva temple.
I talked to the deployed gaurd, Mr. Shivprakash Tamrakar to extract the information about the fort and he told that the building next to the fort is known as Rangmahal and behind it existed a huge tunnel in the past which connected to the town of Maihar.
The walls and ceiling of Rang Mahal are beautifully decorated with COLOURED PAINTINGS. And a 10th century INSCRIPTION, belonging to Kalchuri period, can be seen in the verandah of its Kachahari.
There is a board inside the fort which tells that King Sarju Prasad of Vijaraghavgarh was one of the most heroic figures of the Jabalpur region in 1857 war. He shot dead the tahsildar Subit Ali and captured the dak horses. He once defeated the British troops, but after a few setbacks British again invaded the fort of Vijayraghavgarh with full force making it a place of fiercest battle. It is said that Sardar Rambol's wife “Veer Naini” played a significant role in the defence of fort and gave up her life in the process. King Sarju Prasad escaped but the fort fell in the hands of British.

Radha-krishna temple is located at beautiful Kataighat on the banks of katni river. Upstairs is a Hanuman temple and on the hill top is the chabutara of Siddh Baba and an aegle marmelos tree (bel patri). On the other bank of the river is located a Kol Samaj Mandir having a photo of Krantikari Birsa Munda which is also a great place to visit.
I have visited this spot many times as I have grown up in Katni only. This is a marvellous picnic spot and the top attraction of Katni. It is located behind housing board colony and autos are readily available from bus stand / railway station. The small anicut in the midst of nice greenery gives the complete feeling of being in the lap of nature. Do visit the Flowers Nursery and Suramya Park which are located close to Kataighat.

Roopnath Dhaam is located at the end of beautiful camore hills which runs all along the road to Roopnath Dham. At the end of the Camore hills there's a big board of M. P. Tourism suggesting other attractions nearby.
It is a three story temple of which the ground floor is dedicated to Lord Shiva-Parvati, the first floor to the Lord Ram-Janaki and the second floor to the Lord Krishna-Radha. Adjacent to the temple are three kunds which are naturaly made on a big rock. These kunds namely Ram kund, Sita kund and Lakshman kund always have clean water flowing through them. There is a huge huge reservior above the hill which is the source of water of these kunds. The outfall of all the kunds has been converted into a big pool but bathing / swimming is prohibited there. This place is a great fun for children and they enjoy it a lot.
The other great attraction of the place is the 232 B.C. Ashokan verse engraved on a big stone which is an order written in Pali language to follow Buddhism. This site is maintained very clean and green. Away from the crowd of town this is a great picnic spot in of Katni Distt. While returning do visit the huge Bahoriband Reservoir. A Mukhyamantri Gram Sadak on the left side leads directly to the viewpoint of the Reservoir. Roopnath Dham is 5 kms from Bahoriband Town and 40 kms from the Katni Distt.
