Temple of Saint Vallabhacharya

Temple of Saint Vallabhacharya

Though located in a far off place from the chief city,Champaran holds it` ground due the presence of a prominent temple.

Champaran, formerly known as Champajhar, is a village in Raipur district, 60 km from the state capital via Arang. The village is identified with Champaranya and therefore has religious significance as the birthplace of the Saint Vallabhacharya, the reformer and founder of the Vallabh sect. A handsome temple has been constructed in his honour. Near this temple is a temple of Champakeshwara Mahadeva. The birth anniversary of Saint Vallabhacharya is celebrated every year on the 11th day of 'Baisakh', attended by thousands followers of the Sect, to pay Him homage. An annual fair is held in Champaran with great carousing in the month of 'Magh', every year.

Champaran is accessible from Raipur via Arang. From the junction of Arang-Ranjim Road at the village of Jonda, there is a paved road leading towards Champaran. Buses are available from both Raipur and Arang.
