Discover Jharia

 
Jharia is a small mining town in the state of Jharkhand, India. The city is located in the northern part of the state and lies within the coal-rich Damodar Valley Region. Since its discovery in 1860, Jharia has become one of India's most important sources of coal, supplying over 40 percent of the country's needs for this valuable resource.
As a result, there are many attractions that visitors can explore when visiting Jharia. One highlight is Jharia Coal Mines, which were once British mines established back in 1894 and now provide an insight into the region's rich industrial history. Other notable attractions include Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park - home to a wide variety of wildlife species such as deer and sambar - and Govindpur Lake, where visitors can enjoy great views over this picturesque mineral water body formed by underground springs. Not to be missed is Bahargora Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva which offers breathtaking views from its hilltop location overlooking Jharia's skyline. All these features combined make it an ideal destination for those looking to experience Indian culture while enjoying some unique sights along their journey.
