Dhamdha, an ancient site in Chhattisgarh, is historically and archaeologically significant. The remains of ancient temples, statues, and architecture here reflect the glorious cultural history of the state. This region has long been a major center of political, cultural, and economic activities. There also appears to be a connection with the historical traditions of sites such as Sirpur and Malhar, as remains of Mauryan, Gupta, and post-Gupta architecture are visible here. Dhamdha is also known as the “city of ponds,” since even today much of its economic activity revolves around ponds. The objective of this research is to analyze the historical background, archaeological remains, and cultural heritage of Dhamdha.
