In the heart of India, tucked in Chhattisgarh‘s green Bastar region, you’ll find the respected Bhangaram Devi temple. Noted for its uncommon customs, this includes the jan adalat. This people’s court assembles annually at the Bhado Jatra festival in the Bhangaram Devi temple.
Here, they hold their Gods answerable for their actions, even inflicting penalties. Hidden in the leafy Bastar forests, you’ll find the respected Bhangaram Devi Temple in Keshkal Nagar, Chhattisgarh. This sacred site is more than just a place of worship. It is the home to an enchanting tradition called the “Trial of the Gods.” Every year, they hold a Jatra, a festival, in her honor in the month of Bhadon. An array of deities, both male and female, have found their place in the 55 revenue villages spread across the Nine Paraganas within the Bhangaram Devi region.
People see the trials at Bhangaram Devi Temple as more than just a penalty. They’re a chance for gods to make things right. If a god alters its ways and fulfills people’s wishes, it returns to its temple seat. But if not, it remains banished.
Historian Ghanshyam Singh Nag explains, “This custom depicts the give-and-take dynamic between gods and humans. Gods safeguard and support people, earning their worship. But they can face judgement if this harmony is upset.”
When gods don’t meet expectations during tough times – like illness spreads, disasters or poor crops – people turn to the holy court. They accuse their gods and impose penalties after a trial. If the gods fix their missteps — such as bringing rain or prosperity — they end their banishment.
Bhangaram Temple Committee, says, “When villagers think that the deity assigned to solve their troubles has failed, it comes here for trial. This event happens annually.”
