The headless statue of Goddess Chhinamastika stands upon the bodies of Kamdeo and Rati in a lotus bed.

The Chhinamastika Temple is a very holy and popular place of Hindu pilgrimage. The temple is very old and its architectural design is the same as that of other temples of tantrik importance. Though its antiquity is yet to be dated. Some people are of the opinion that the present temple is a renovated one of the original and traditional temple turned into ruins. A number of other temples have come up around the original temple. Particularly, the temples of Mahavidyas (Tara, Shodashi, Bhubneswari, Bhairavi, Bagla, Kamla, Matangi, Dhumavati) built in a series, attract more devotees. Rajrappa has turned into a popular picnic spot. Pilgrims come here throughout the year.

On the day of Makar Sakranti (14th January) a religious fair is held which is visited by lacs. On the Dussehra day also the number of visitors coming increases considerably. Rajrappa can be easily reached from Ranchi and Hazaribagh. It is on the route to Bokaro from Ramgarh.

Anjan Gram

A very olden statue of Anjani mata is located inside the Anjani cave. Bounded by the Netarhat hills and the river Khatwa Anjan Gram is situated at a distance of some 130 kms from Ranchi.

Jagannathpur Temple 
About 10 km. from Ranchi GPO is another sight seeing place where the tourists can rejoice and worship.

Its car / chariot festival held in the light part of Ashadh Mas draws a big crowd comprising of tribals and non-tribals. HEC township nearby is an added attraction. About 10 km. from Ranchi, is the aged temple of Lord Jagannath, built in 1691 in the architectural style of the Puri temple. It stands similar to a fort on the peak of the hill. Its' car/chariot festival held on Ashadhmas draws a big crowd.

Parasnath 
About 190 km from Ranchi, Parasnath (also knows as Samved Shikhar) is the biggest hill of Jharkhand 4431 ft. above sea level. It is the most sacred / adored place of the Jains. It is believed that 20 out of 24 Teerthankars attained their Nirvana there. Both Shwetambar and Digamber Jains have their temples there.  

Shakti Mandir
Shakti Mandir located in heart of the coal city Dhanbad, is dedicated to Goddess Durga who is also known as Goddess of Shakti, on which the name of the mandir is given by the devotees. Its located in Joraphatak road, Dhanbad. There is a akhand jyoti in the mandir which is brought from the Vaishno Devi. The devotees regualrly perform, bhajanas, jagrans and kirtans .

Baidyanath Dham
Baidyanath Dham is a very famous Hindu pilgrimage. It is also called DEOGHAR or the house of Gods and Godesses. Situated on the eastern side of Bihar, this township is very close to the Bengal border. Visitors from all over visit this important temple where the Kamana Linga of Lord Shiva is situated. In the month of `shrawan' devotees come in lacs, particularly on 'Mondays'. Many of these devotees come walking after traversing a distance of some 100 kms on foot to pour the holy Ganga water on Kamana Linga picked up from Sultanganj. Baidyanathdham can be reached by train on or road. Jaisidih station, on the Howrah-Patna rail line of Eastern Railway is just 7 kms away. Regular bus services from Ranchi and Patna are available. From Bhagalpur this pilgrimage site is about 80 kms.

The gods were most unhappy at the idea of the heavenly lingam being established in the enemy kingdom, which would render them powerless against their adversary, Ravana. A strategy was soon worked out to outwit the enemy. The god of water, Varuna entered Ravana's body and urged him to relieve himself. Meanwhile, Vishnu disguised as an old brahmin, befriended Ravana and offered himself to hold the jyotirlinga for a minute.

Ravana realised his folly when he returned to see the lingam on the ground with the Brahmin nowhere to be seen. Ravana did his best to uproot the lingam but beyond breaking the tip he was unsuccessful. He finally prostrated before the invincible lingam, which has ever since remained rooted at Deogarh. In deep remorse, Ravana used to come to this place everday and worship the lingam by offering water from the Ganges.

Historically the temple is dated to 1596 when a seeker by the name of Baiju, discovered the gone lingam. Since then it came to be known as Baidyanath and people also call it Kamma Lingam - the desire fulfilling lingam.

Naulakha Temple
The good-looking temple on the outer edge of Deogarh is worth a trip for its sheer architectural appeal. It was built by one of the disciple of Balanand Brahmachari, who used to meditate at Tapoban, 8 km from the city. Tapoban is an equally charming place well-known for its hill top temples and caves.

Sun Temple 
About 39 km. from Ranchi on Tata Road near Bundu, stands the graceful Sun Temple shaped in the form of huge chariot with richly decorated 18 wheels (nine on each side) and seven life like horses ready to take off. The surroundings of the temple, studded with a pond serving as a sacred place for Chhathavratis are actually a nature's bounty to the people of Chhotanagpur. A beautiful dharmashala, meant for the pilgrims and the tourists is under construction. The all weather motor able road upto the temple premises is likely to attract tourist who will be captivated to behold the newly built Sun Temple in placid and serene surrounding leading to it's celestial beauties.


Jagannath Temple

The temple is similar to the famous Jagannath Temple in Puri, Orissa, although smaller. Similar to the Rath Yatra in Puri, annual fair is held at this temple as well attracting thousands of devotees. The temple collapsed on 6th August 1990. The reconstruction was started on 8th February 1992 and is still continuing.

The Shiva temple is located on the top of the hill also known as Pahari Mandir. At the bottom of the hill is Ranchi Lake.Ranchi lake was excavated by Colonel Onsely in 1842.

Satsang Ashram
Satsang ashram in Deoghar is one of the holiest of the sacred places for the followers of Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra who spend his last 25 years of active life here. Satsong ashram was the middle from where Sri Sri Thakur's man-making programme was directed. Thus a cluster of socio-industrial and cultural institutions have developed at deoghar. A visit to the ashram would inexorably take one out of the cobweb of mental blocks and would give one a feel of freedom, peace and progress.
