Tuman- the old capital of Kalturi Daynesty (9th century AD)


Tuman was the capital of Kalturi Period before Ratanpur(CG)

If  we move from Amarkantak towards Pandra Road which ends at the T point, the left singe road goes towards Chotia via Pasan moving through dense forest and the right hand road towards Jatak ( spelling  may be wrong, I will make correction). On reaching to this T point, the road in the right hand side goes to Bilaspur and the left road goes to Kathghora via Tuman. Presently this road is in worse condition, by chance I had taken this  route for Chotia and then Kendai) but every hurdle gives us good learning also. Adopting this route by any chance I reached to the first capital of Kalturi dynasty  "Tuman" ( before Ratanpur) and forgotten the tiring driving on this road. I came to know that the decedents of this dynasty are living here at the bank of the river. In case I visit to this place again , I would certainly meet them.

There are few platforms in the campus of the temples on which there might be some temples in its time in the past.
