lord Ganesh idol, located atop of Dholkal hill in Dantewada, which is a
world-famous tourist spot, will also get a facelift with better food and
accommodation facilities. Tourists from all over the country and abroad come
here for ‘darshan’. A plan is being chalked out to provide better accommodation
facilities for tourists in traditional style of Bastar and Chhattisgarh and to

serving ethnic food. This will not only boost tourism here, but will also help
in preserving the rich culture and tradition of Chhattisgarh, said the
