Magneto The Mall in Raipur is one of the city’s largest and most popular shopping destinations, offering a wide range of national and international brand outlets, a spacious and modern layout, and a vibrant atmosphere. With a large food court featuring options like McDonald’s, KFC, Barbeque Nation, and Haldiram’s, along with a PVR multiplex, arcade games, and kids' zones, it's a perfect spot for shopping, dining, and entertainment under one roof. Though it can get crowded during weekends and peak hours, the overall experience is enjoyable thanks to good facilities, parking space, and frequent events that keep the place lively.
Magneto The Mall is still under construction stage and almost 70% completed and opened for customer. This shopping mall is having unique design and very attractive. Length of the building is much more than its width and smaller than Raipur city central Mall. Serenity Salon and Happy hours (pub) is also available. Kinds play zone is very attractive and veriety of games are available. Reliance smart Bazaar is available at underground floor. PVR cinema is available at second floor. Food court is also available. You can enjoy with your family and friends at this place.
Magneto The Mall, located on G.E. Road, Labhandih, Raipur, is one of the city’s largest and most vibrant shopping destinations, offering a perfect mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment under one roof. Spread across six floors with spacious multi-level parking and valet facilities, the mall houses over 120 renowned national and international brands like Lifestyle, Pantaloons, Adidas, Nike, Go colours, puma, Tommy Hilfiger, and Levi’s etc. Food lovers can enjoy popular outlets such as Barbeque Nation, McDonald’s, Domino’s, KFC, and Café Coffee Day, along with a lively food court. The PVR multiplex inside adds to the experience with comfortable seating and great sound quality. With clean interiors, modern facilities, and family-friendly services, Magneto stands as Raipur’s most happening lifestyle hub — ideal for shopping, hangouts, and weekend leisure.
This mall is making few changes in interior that's good without hindering people's activities, I don't know why but now they closed keventers here so last time our only option was CCD and also their food court needs few changes as the quality of Chinese, waffles and other extra couses are not up to the mark either they should bring belgium waffles or in meals they should replace moti mahal from some other meal like lunch box or good bowl. One more enhancement they can do is only BB (baskin and robins) is available inspite "Gianis" Should be provided an opportunity as these are few outlets who provide quality with best prices which most of the people will enjoy in exchange of money. Suta brand which I used to order sarees earlie in delhi is here now though in "zora" It's yet to come.As last Saturday 13 sep I went to Zora and found very less crowd also it has larger capacity but brands are new so no offers for us to enjoy although interior is beautiful but people enjoy crowd at weekends so it will take time for it to develope. Back to magnato clothing brands are good here in my last review I compared amonst other malls in raipur but here I would like few updates in this mall along with its exterior look. Follow my insta handel "soundarya_ ashley". Soon I am going to create contents in my insta as I got all gagets in this rakhi as a gift also you people appritiated my writings alot so thankyou all.

📍 City Centre Mall, Raipur A stylish and well-maintained mall with top brands like Snitch and Burger King, plus fun attractions like Snow City. Clean ambiance, good crowd, and easy parking make it a great place to shop, eat, and relax. 🌟
One of the busiest places of Raipur which provides the most famous brands of clothing and the rest of accessories. The spacious ambience with beautiful indoors provides good vibes while spending time. It has ample parking space and a small outdoor cricket practice net. The food court at the top floor needs major upliftment. Food prices are reasonable but the ambience feels dull and unhygienic.
Very beautiful shopping mall and largest shopping mall in Raipur city. This shopping mall in Pandri area and nearest to Raipur junction railway station around 4 km distance. Inside this mall all shops dress, toys, shoes, gift items, food items, cafe, jewelry items, cinema, horror house, mirror maze, children playing area, Pizza, Dominos, Burger, Sandwich, Dosa, Icre Cream etc all are available here.

A few apparel shops include Lifestyle, Max, Azorte, Snitch, Trozen, Peter England, among others. There are some good fast food chains like Burger King and Pizza Hut here, along with a cafe Dunkel Braun on the ground floor. The air conditioning issues seem to have been resolved. Overall this is a good place to hangout with your friends and family and a good shopping place as well. The car parking is 30rs and bike parking is 20rs.
One of the happening places in Raipur if you're looking to shop with friends or family, or even solo. They have a range of showrooms and brand retails. The food court was smaller than expected with very few outlets. There's nothing much here to do other than shopping.
Your one-stop destination for shopping, entertainment, and dining in the heart of Raipur! or Experience a wide variety of brands, a multiplex, and fun at Raipur's premier shopping and leisure hub!

World class cricket stadium in Raipur,Chhattisgarh.So many international one day matches organised by our chattisgarh cricket association.
Hosted for the international master's league match. Facilities are still in developing stages. Currently Distance is too far from Raipur city, so own vehicle option is best for the travelling. Still with more matches at this place , plenty of room for improvement.
A visit to the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium offers cricket enthusiasts an opportunity to experience the sport in a world-class setting. Whether attending a high-profile international match or a local game, visitors can expect a memorable experience at this iconic venue.
Something is better than nothing 😉. The stadium is good, you will always enjoy with the crowd , but the other facilities needs lot of improvement ( parking, toilets, beverages options/ facilities & quality)
A few days ago I saw the match for the first time in the stadium, it was the final match of the Road Safety World Series. The match was between India and Sri Lanka. India won the match. The stadium is also nice and big, I really enjoyed watching the match. My experience here was very good, there was a parking arrangement too, the police of Chhattisgarh had made all the security arrangements. In the end all I want to say is, JAY HIND JAY BHARAT •INFORMATION • It is the third largest cricket stadium in India and the fourth largest cricket stadium in the world. The stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 65,000. Inaugurated in 2008, the ground hosted its first match in 2010, when the Canada national cricket team arrived in India and played a practice match against the Chhattisgarh state team. In 2013, the stadium was announced as the second home venue for the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has hosted several matches of the team since then.
Our sole international stadium requires proper upkeep to attract more international matches and entice overseas players. The Cricket Board is actively implementing various measures to enhance the stadium's suitability for hosting matches.
Very own International cricket stadium of Chhattisgarh, situated in outskirts of Raipur. It is just few kms away from airport. It is the second biggest stadium of India and has 12 entry gates. As per our Indian team review this stadium can be compared with Melbourne. Also pitch is very suitable to play.
Nice stadium..parking arrangement is sometimes irritating. 1 Big Screen not working,dirty seats(not even run a blower for big matches even) Great lazer show witnessed last time n road safety series For more The **Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium** in Naya Raipur is one of India’s most modern and well-designed cricket venues. With a seating capacity of **65,000**, it is among the largest stadiums in the country and has quickly become a premier sporting destination in Chhattisgarh. The stadium boasts **excellent infrastructure**, including a lush green outfield, high-quality floodlights, and world-class facilities for players and spectators. The design ensures **unobstructed views** from every seat, making it a fantastic experience for fans. It has hosted **Indian Premier League (IPL) matches**, domestic tournaments, and international fixtures, drawing praise for its **smooth organization and crowd management**. Beyond cricket, the stadium is **multi-functional**, accommodating events like concerts and exhibitions. The surrounding area is well-developed, with ample **parking, food stalls, and clean restrooms**, enhancing visitor comfort. However, being located in **Naya Raipur**, a developing city, some visitors may find limited public transport options. Yet, the stadium’s **modern amenities and electrifying atmosphere** during matches make it a must-visit for cricket lovers. Looting ppl for food n drinks a glass of cool drink for 100 rs water bottle @70 snacks@ 150 , poor management. So many ppl were standing lack of seats and blocked the view of others..BCCI should look into this

A mesmerizing beauty of nature.The waterfall is amazing where you can take bath.Best point is you don't have to walk much from your parking.If you reach early morning then you can park your vehicle very close to the waterfall.Enjoyed with family very much.
If you're looking for a peaceful and refreshing destination to visit with your family, friends, or partner, this is truly a great place to consider. Surrounded by lush greenery, the environment here is absolutely soothing and relaxing. What makes this spot even more special is the presence of a beautiful waterfall right beside a serene temple. You can even take a refreshing dip in the waterfall — it's safe and enjoyable! After spending some peaceful moments by the temple and soaking in the natural beauty, you can enjoy a light meal at a small hotel located just opposite the temple. The place is conveniently located — just about 1.5 hours by road from Raipur — making it a perfect short escape from the city's hustle. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend you to visit this place at least once with your loved ones. Thank you!
One of the best places i visited on Raipur till now, people here came for picnic with there family. You can enjoy natural shower of water from this waterfall
Best place for vusut5in monsoon season. You can enjoy waterfalls and can bath here. But too much rush. There is parking issue also. Road is also not good. But only 5 km.
A Hidden Gem Near Raipur Ghatarani Waterfall is one of the most beautiful natural spots near Raipur. Surrounded by lush green forest, the waterfall looks stunning, especially during monsoon when it’s at full flow. The short trek through nature makes the visit even more exciting and refreshing. It’s a perfect getaway for family and friends – you can enjoy the cool breeze, the sound of flowing water, and a peaceful environment away from the city’s rush. Best time to visit is during rainy and post-rainy months. Truly a must-visit destination for nature lovers. 🌿💧
I’ve visited this place three times now, and each visit has been a completely different experience. Based on that, I’d recommend going during the rainy season and preferably on weekdays to avoid long lines and parking congestion. It can get quite chaotic inside when it’s crowded, so it’s best to keep an eye on those young visitors. During other seasons, the experience isn’t quite the same. You might notice trash in some areas due to reduced water flow from the waterfall, or sometimes find it partially dry. Overall, though, it’s a peaceful and refreshing spot, especially when visited with friends or family.
Amazing waterfall, especially post monsoon Please note that the road from Rajim is single lane, goes through villages and not so great. The road through Jatmai is great, 2 lane but the last 4 km , after Jatmai is only kachha road, such is worse after rains.
Best place to be in And around mahasamund and Churra. Around 1.5 hour from Raipur. Try to go there just after it rains heavily to see the best of waterfall.

Very cozy place. Boating is awesome. Had great time here. Mind and soul relaxed after boating. Beautiful large statue of Swamy Vivekananda is placed in the middle of the lake. There's a Lord Shiva temple in the middle of the lake. This adds more beauty. The long pathway takes you to the statue which is surrounded by the lake from all the sides. Trees on the way makes you feel close to the nature.
There are old and new Budha gardens. In my opinion new is good for every age group but the old one is not good for everyone. The lights of new Budha garden is better than old. You will also get some activities for kids and boating is also there. But the fountain and music system is below average.
One among the very few recreational areas for Raipur people's. Neat compared to other city areas
One of the best place to visit. Recommended in evening for best photo shots..
I appreciate the Govt of Raipur just because of conservative concern towards the Eco-friendly Sarovars along with amusement parks with In a City like Raipur @Capital of Chhattisgarh. Here I enjoyed a lot with my brother and Colligue I'll explain it by one by one. Reached there @2PM but they've opened at 3:30PM , A big statute of Vivekananda ji is available here along with light settings. Boating is available here and couple and Quadrapled Are allowed to boat ride here . Musical Water fountain is available here. RAIPUR iconic LED is available here to got promotion to the city. Sarovar contains Public restrooms along with Restaurants having Fast foods and ice creams available here. Morning and Evening are the perfect times to visit here.
Very beautiful ambience. Visited in 2012. An idol of meditating posture of Swami Vivekananda is installed here. This place is popularly known as Burha Talab. An ideal place to spent a beautiful afternoon.
Nice place... fun for kids, water fountain and water rides available. Serene!
Large water body at the centre of the town . It has got a park in the centre of the waterbody. Previously called "Buddha Talab". Now renamed as Vivekananda Sarovar , with a statute of Vivekananda . A good place to sit in an quite atmosphere. Boating facilities available but safety issues not addressed. U will be disappointed if u compare with other Lakes around the country.

A Divine Experience at Rajim Lochan Mandir Visiting Rajim Lochan Mandir was a deeply spiritual and memorable experience. Located about 45 km from Raipur, this ancient temple is truly a hidden gem. The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Shri Rajiva Lochan) and is believed to date back to the 8th century, built during the reign of the Nala dynasty. The architecture is stunning, with intricately carved pillars and beautiful sculptures that reflect deep cultural and religious heritage. The temple stands at the sacred confluence (Triveni Sangam) of three rivers — Mahanadi, Pairi, and Sondur — which adds to its serene and divine ambiance. As soon as I stepped into the temple premises, I felt a sense of peace and spiritual energy. The aarti experience was mesmerizing and filled the air with devotion. Rajim is often called the "Prayag of Chhattisgarh," and after visiting, I can truly see why. It’s not just a temple; it’s an experience of timeless devotion and architectural beauty. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, spiritual connection, or an enriching cultural visit.

🌊🕉️ Rajim – The Prayag of Chhattisgarh Rajim, often called the "Prayag of Chhattisgarh", is a spiritual town located around 45 km from Raipur, situated at the confluence of three rivers: Mahanadi, Pairi, and Sondur. Just like Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj, Rajim holds deep religious significance and is considered a sacred pilgrimage site by Hindus across India. The town is famous for the Rajiv Lochan Mandir, a beautifully carved ancient temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu (Rajiv Lochan). This temple is an architectural marvel built in Panchayatana style, with intricate stone carvings, tall shikharas, and a peaceful aura that draws devotees, tourists, and spiritual seekers alike. Built during the 8th century by the kings of the Nala dynasty, this temple reflects the rich cultural and religious history of Chhattisgarh. Apart from this, there are several other important temples nearby like: Kuleshwar Mahadev Mandir (at the sangam) Ramachandra Mandir Daneshwar Mahadev Mandir These temples add to the sacredness of the region and make Rajim a complete teerth kshetra (pilgrimage zone).

The atmosphere during this time is filled with devotion, bhajans, spiritual discourse, and the divine dip at the sangam. --- 🌟 Final Thoughts: Rajim is not just a town – it’s the soul of spirituality and tradition in Chhattisgarh. Its riverbanks, ancient temples, and religious festivals make it a perfect place to reconnect with your inner self and explore India’s rich spiritual heritage.

Very nice and interesting place to visit. But remember, on Diwali, few days it will be closed. So please don't visit. In the maps it will show like it is open. But don't try to visit. But the Zoo at Naya Raipur will be working. You may visit that place.
A Hidden Gem with Room for a Little Spark! Energy Park located right on the VIP Road, is one of the city's most delightful picnic and tourist spots. Spread over a massive area, this place is a breath of fresh air—literally! Whether you're with family, friends or just want some peaceful time alone. The lush greenery and open spaces make it a perfect getaway within the city. The entrance of the park is beautifully designed with decorative landscapes that give you a warm welcome. There's a cozy little café just outside entrance—it hits differently in that peaceful setting. The park is not just about nature—it offers fun activities like boating, a children’s play area, and once upon a time, a toy train (which we believe may have taken off to Mars for some cosmic joyrides). The educational installations across the park are meant to be informative about energy and sustainability but unfortunately most of them seem to be on a long vacation. They definitely need a little revival and some love from the maintenance team. After all, it’s a government park but one with a lot of potential. On the bright side, parking is available and the entry tickets are incredibly affordable which makes it super accessible to all. It’s one of those places where you can pack a picnic basket, spread out a mat and just relax under the open sky. In short, Energy Park is a wonderful space with natural charm, fun activities and peaceful vibes. With just a little attention from the authorities, it could easily become one of the top attractions in Raipur.
Today I have visited this lovely park in the morning hours for my routine morning walk. On entering my first impression was WOW , LOVELY, AMAIZING. Lovely lush green, neet and clean with seperate walking track. There is a toy train for kidds and a lovely pond for boating. Most admiring was plantation planted by different persons in memory of their love ones. I also took a picture of a plant planted by Hon'ble Dalai Lama. I will give 100 % marks to this park and congratulations to the administration for it's lovely maintenance. I request people of nearby areas to use this beautiful park for their morning walk. There is no ticket in the morning from 6 to 8 AM . I also saw so many elders and youngsters in the park. Thanks and Regards M Husain Retired Dy General Manager of a Public sector fertiliser company

Beautiful and well maintained park. Anyone can work here peacefully. Good place for gatherings with family and friends.
Very nice cinema and beautiful place CG star kishan sen comeing in any day
It's a clean and neatly maintained Park. No facilities available inside. Good place for meeting and functions
Nice place to spend quality time with family or friends. A lot of space to walk around and amphitheatre is there. Play area for kids is very nice with different types of slides and swings as per age group. Restaurant is there with fast food to full meal on card, food quality is ok but service is poor and is little bit expensive as far as quality is concerned.
Good place for walking, and doing some birthday party
Beautiful.. Awesome.. Spacious.. Located at the heart of the Naya Raipur.. Big Dias available for cultural activities and other activities with naturally made seating arrangement.. Kids can enjoy with various fun activities.. As various types of jhulas available here.. Big parking facility.. Lush green landscape.. Toilet facility available..
Nice park but poor maintenance. There are areas allocated for Yoga, childrens play area, cafeteria, wind mill, lake, amphitheatre and walking-tracks. Covered seating spaces are also available which can be utilised during group-picnic. Presently, maintenance of lake is very poor and lots of grass has grown up on the approach road. Cafeteria is also not functional. There is hardly any visitor on weekdays except for Sunday evening. Still a good place to visit with small kids (4-15 yrs) for Naya Raipur residents.
Good option for day picnic

That place is very beautiful and captivating. It is the centre of the entire black culture of our Chhattisgarh. There is a lot of black work and the art of our blacksmiths is fearless.
Giving a 4 star, could have given 5, but due to the fact it was not maintained properly. The place sheds a light on historic values and traditions of Chattisgarh tribal life and their values. Yes the park is not immaculately maintained but it is different and makes you think of the past. History is always beautiful and this is no different. The place needs some minor maintenance, a better lawn irrigation system rather than manual watering which wastes water using hoses. Ponds need cleaning and removal of dead leaves. It appears whosoever is maintaining day to day business here doesn't really care and generates funds that are being used for something else. If the authorities pay more attention to this unique park, it could attract a lot more tourist traffic from Western countries. Overall a good experience.
It is a well maintained park with lots of statues on the theme of various communities of Chattisgarh. The summer time visit is very challenging due to open space without any shade. Parking is on the road side. The camera is chargeable. The washrooms located near the entrance were in pathetic condition.
It's a underrated Tourist spot. Very vast area. Those who visited Dhakshin Chitra may like this place very much. It is about the houses of Chattisgarh State. Well maintained. Lack of guide makes difficult to understand the importance. Plan during winter, so that going around the area is easy. In the 2nd circle they placed no of pillers, each unique in nature
Very well made, but not maintained. Nice place to visit during winter or rainy season. Has many interesting sculptures and amazing artifacts.
It's a park where you can enjoy your day with picnic with family's and friends And spend yours quality time.. You can visit mesum which is recently opened aadiwasi mesum after thay you can visit here have fun You day will be a great day . Thanks 🙏

Nice park for the morning walk. There is also some gym equipment and a kids playground. In January a flower exhibition is held here annually.
In my opinion this garden is a lovely spot, especially for families with kids. The park is clean, green, and well-maintained. There are plenty of swings and play areas that children really enjoy. Even for adults, it's a peaceful place to relax in the shade of trees. I had a great experience here—simple, calm, and refreshing. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the city.
Gandhi Udyan Park in Raipur is a beautiful and picturesque public park located in the heart of the city. The place offers a wonderful blend of natural greenery and cultural richness. Adorned with flowerbeds and ornaments, the garden has beautiful flower-filled gardens, wide tiled walking tracks (around 400 meters) and lush green surroundings that are a centre of attraction for both tourists and local residents. The place feels especially beautiful in the early morning and evening as the balance of sunlight and shade and fresh air make it worth visiting. There is no entry fee to the garden, but parking charges are applicable at ₹10 for two-wheelers and ₹20 for four-wheelers. It has a safe and fun play area for children, which includes swings, slides and outdoor gym equipment. The place is great for family picnics, yoga practice, relaxation and light conversations. The garden also houses an iconic statue of Mahatma Gandhi, which reminds us of his peaceful and non-violence based ideology.
It is a beautiful place for morning and evening walk. There is reasonably large play ground for children to play. Although the amenities are not maintained, but I have seen many children enjoying. There is an outdoor gym at the distance of many adults who are using on routine basis thus benefiting them. The udyan is maintained green ensuring clean air gor it's users. There is no entry fee. I had been here for a flower show. It was a vreat success.
Lovely park especially in the evenings.Like any typical park it has recreational slides,swings etc apart for the body gym ones.The fountains are no longer functioning thanks to the pandemic. Not very crowded these days. Its close to marine drive. Can give it a go if you are bolred. Have a good day reader!!
The garden was peaceful and clean, with plenty of greenery and fresh flowers. A perfect spot to relax, take a walk, or just sit and enjoy nature for a while.
This park is beautiful and well-maintained.
Wonderful park which needs some renovations. Nice place to hang out in the middle of town and all pollution.

Jungle Safari in Naya Raipur is a wonderful place to hang out with friends and family. The place is beautifully planned and offers a refreshing experience close to nature. There are a total of 4 different safaris and a zoo area, each offering a variety of animals to observe. There’s also a large lake where you can enjoy boating, which adds a relaxing touch to the adventure. Outside food is not allowed inside the premises, which helps maintain cleanliness. Although there is a locker facility available for baggage, it was unfortunately closed during our visit, which was a slight inconvenience. We were lucky to see lions, a majestic tiger, and many other animals. However, we missed seeing the bear, probably because it was an extremely hot summer day and some animals were resting out of sight. Overall, Jungle Safari Naya Raipur is a recommended place to visit if you are in Chhattisgarh. It’s a great spot to enjoy nature, wildlife, and spend quality time with your loved ones!
It was a thrilling experience to see wild animals in an open area and you are passing nearby. The Safari bus has a fixed route, if animals are nearby that you will enjoy. Otherwise, just bad luck. It is around 1 hrs duration excluding Zoo. Foods and plastic bottles are not allowed inside the park.
Safari Experience can be improved. There is no one to tell the story of the animals in the safari. And safari is all about where this animal came from? Age, gender, name behavior and story about the animal's daily routine. Zoo is good and big. Safari vehicles need to be in better condition. Also, they need better food in their canteen. People don't usually like food. I really hope that safari tour and experience will improve in future. Though it is safari but still it feels more like zoo.
Wonderful place to visit and see the animals roaming in there places. There is different zones for every animals in the Safari. If u will lucky u can see the Tiger and Lion in safari.
An unforgettable experience at Nandan Van Jungle Safari! We were thrilled to spot all four majestic tigers along with lions and deer during the safari. The entire journey felt like an adventure deep into the wild. My 4-year-old son had an amazing time—he was excited, curious, and learned so much about the animals and their natural habitat. A truly memorable and educational outing for the whole family. Highly recommended for nature lovers and kids alike!
Excellent and worth the wait. Well organized but try to go on a weekday and non holidays. The nature shop can have more stuff to buy
One of the best man made jungle safari in central India. Specially the cage ride, zoo and lake. Must visit place if you like wildlife and nature.
Nice place for jungle safari but in the summer waiting area is hell, need to upgrade the waiting hall

This is one of the best zoo and jungle safari that I have ever been to and I have also visited multiple zoo and jungle safari across India. Once upon a time the entire place was a barren land it was the Government of Chhattisgarh that slowly have transformed it into a Jungle and then the wild animals which were rescued where slowly kept here for breeding and caring purposes. As the animals grew larger in number as they were bred and cared properly taken care of thus government have decided to start a jungle safari along with running a full fledged zoo. And the idea was historic. Currently we have this beautiful zoo with jungle safari is only because of the great vision the government has. This place is so beautiful, that it's hard to describe and that's not only the zoo or the jungle safari but also the beautiful Lake boat ride that true that deserves of 5 star rating.
Nandanvan Zoo is located on village Atari across of Hirapur road Near Tendua village besides of Kharoon river. Herbivore, Bear, Tiger and Lion. Here one can see Cheetal, Sambar, Bluebull, Tiger, Lion and Bear in their natural habitat. The complex has a large number of tree plantations, secure fencing and facilities like valley pool. Initiatives like medical unit for newborn animals, administrative building, souvenir shop and plastic ban further enrich the experience here.
This place is really amazing! 😍Once you visit here, you will not even realize how time passes. Especially when you are with your friends 💑, partner🤝or family👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, the experience here becomes even more memorable. My advice is to come here during rainy days or winter days. The atmosphere at that time is very beautiful. Believe me, you will like the atmosphere here very much. And then the summer season is a different kind of fun 😉 Enjoy life 🥰😍, keep smiling and be happy! 😌 U can connect with me on Insta- _Badking47
Nandan Van Zoo is a wonderful place for nature and wildlife enthusiasts. The zoo is well-maintained, with a good variety of animals and birds in a natural environment. It’s an educational and enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The staff is friendly, and the facilities are clean. A great spot for a family outing
This zoo is a great place to observe various bird species. While there are no other animals, the diverse avian life makes it a worthwhile visit.
It's not a zoo. It's a park, where they kept some common bird varieties
Monday closed... Best place to visit with family and friends. Great calm atmosphere, well maintained, hygienic, birds are kept in clean and cool conditions.. KIDS must visit once.

I recently visited and truly enriching experience. The museum is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, making the visit pleasant and comfortable. The ancient scriptures and sculptures are beautifully preserved, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The detailed descriptions alongside the exhibits help in understanding their historical significance. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, art, and archaeology. Highly recommended!
A wonderful experience at Ghasidas Museum, Raipur. The museum beautifully showcases our rich cultural heritage and centuries-old history. Every section reflects the depth of Chhattisgarh’s art, traditions, and archaeological treasures. It’s truly an enriching visit for anyone interested in learning about our roots and the timeless legacy.
Wonderful museum to understand ancient history and see some great pieces of sculpture. Well painted and good display. Staff is helpful. If you are in Raipur then do not miss visiting the museum.
I had a fantastic experience at Mahant Ghasidas Museum in Raipur! The museum beautifully showcases the rich history, art, and culture of Chhattisgarh. The exhibits are well-organized, covering everything from ancient artifacts to tribal heritage. What made the visit even better was the polite and knowledgeable staff. The guides were excellent, providing insightful details about the exhibits and making the tour engaging. The entire place is well-maintained, creating a pleasant and informative atmosphere. If you're in Raipur, this museum is definitely worth a visit! Highly recommended for history enthusiasts and anyone curious about Chhattisgarh’s cultural heritage.
I recently visited the Mahant Ghasidas Memorial Museum along with my father as we were visiting the city, and it was a fantastic experience! The museum is rich in tribal history and showcases a remarkable collection of artifacts that reflect the cultural heritage of Chhattisgarh. The exhibits were well-organized, providing insightful information about the local tribes, art, and traditions. The exhibits included sections about handloom weaving, pottery, metal work, ancient weapons, folk arts including scroll paintings, wall paintings and tribal masks.
A very nice place for museum Lover here you can experience the exotic tradition of different tribes of chhattisgadh e.g., baigiya kol bheel baiga etc. Ticket price is ₹5/- per person.
A must-visit for history lovers! The ancient statues and scriptures on display beautifully reflect India’s vast cultural heritage and unity in diversity. It's a peaceful place to explore and learn about our roots. However, there's scope for development—especially in infrastructure. The toilets need to be cleaner and properly marked with signboards, and the museum would benefit greatly from being fully air-conditioned, especially during the hotter months. 🎟️ Entry Fee: ₹5 per person 📸 Photography Charge: ₹50 extra if you wish to take photos Overall, a good place with rich exhibits, but improvements in visitor facilities can make the experience even better.
Was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful collection of artefacts housed in this museum. It's one of the first museums established in pre-independence India, which in itself is a rather cool fact. On the first floor one walks through 4 sections with artefacts displayed chronologically, from prehistoric stone tools to the first religious and cultural sculptures unearthed in the region to numerous stone tablets engraved with beautiful brahmi script. The second and third floors are dedicated to tribal, life and culture of the region. There is also an area enclosed in glass that contains many taxidermied animals and birds. The museum is full of interesting things and though most are labelled, I felt the lack of descriptions to be a bit of a let down as it would have been wonderful to have more context about the origin and story around these priceless pieces of the past. There is an outdoor place to eat here as well, it serves local street food items and is very cheap.
