Jatmayi Temple is a Hindu temple of Goddess Durga ji located in Gariaband district, 80 km from state capital Raipur, Chhattisgarh, Bharat.
The water streams just adjacent to the temple of Mata touch her feet and fall down from the rocks.
According to local beliefs, these water streams are the servants of the mother. Every year a fair is organized in the temple of Mata in the Navratri of Chaitra and Kunwar
There is a large Shiva Linga present on the temple premises. The Shiva Linga has enthralling legendary stories behind it. People believe that it was impossible to move the Shiva Linga from its place. The place belonged to a group of fishermen in ancient times
When the fishermen decided to move from the place, they wanted to take the Shiva Linga with them. They started to dig the surroundings deeper to take the Linga out
Every time they were digging the soil, the Shiva Linga was going deeper into the crack. It was becoming impossible to take the Linga out. Later on, they were tired of trying. So, they left the idol there. Eventually, the two temples were built surrounding the Shiva Linga
