Sirpur was a happening place 1300 years ago. After centuries of being in oblivion, today it has hit a new high on the tourist map of Chhattisgarh and of India. And all thanks to the excavations undertaken by the Archeological Survey of India which has unearthed important 6th century Laxman Temple and a host of idols belonging to that period. Standing on the banks of the Mahanadi in Mahasamund District, atop the ruins of the CAPITAL of Dakshin Kosala or Chhattisgarh as it was then known, Sirpur, then known as Shreepur, is all set to recapture its past glory.
