Ganga Maiya Temple, located 60 km from Bhilai at Jhalmala has very interesting legend attached to it. As per the story goes, the local fisherman found the deity of the temple in his net but ignored it instead of recovering it.
Later, a villager inhabiting in the same village had dream in which the idol ordered the person to retrieve it to a hut near the village. Sometime later, a temple was established there by Bhikam Chanda Tiwari which now has a great influence over the villagers life. Several cultural activities as well as medical camps are organized there now.
