''BLACK MOUNTAIN'' KALA PAHAD ''MANDLA MADHYA PRADESH''

Mandla. Known for its natural beauty, the tribal district Mandala boasts many mysteries inside itself. There is also a wonderful Nagina of a miracle, which is spread over three kilometers. This is a mountain where there are only black rocks. Looking at these black rocks, no one will say that some fine artisan has carved these rocks, and they have been assembled for a particular purpose. However, those who study geographical changes suggest another reason for its origin.

In the Rajamandala of Kala Pahad, about 35 km from the district headquarters, the Kala Shila Kala Pahal is very famous for its black rocks. The specialty of this mountain is that there is not even a single green tree or plant found in the upper part of the mountain, due to which the long stones of black stones present here are long.

Geographical changes and lava-forming mountains inform that these rocks are black due to geographical changes. They are natural but not artificial. About six to seven million years ago, the volcano in this region burst, and the lava that came out of it cooled down and turned into big rocks. The holes seen in the rocks also testify that gas must have leaked from them.

Prashant Srivastava, a scholar who studied geological changes and lava-forming geophysical changes, told that when a large amount of lava came to the surface, it froze and cooled, and it is a precious gift of nature, which is Mandla is near the district. If these rocks are studied in-depth, then the mouth of the volcano will also come out. Since the upper surface of the Earth was getting colder, then the molten lava inside came out like a volcano.

This is illusion

One thing is also prevalent about Kala Pahad that when King Hriday Shah (who was also a great practitioner of Tantra lore) was building his fort in Ramnagar, he called this stone here from Tantra lore, which was carved here. And till Ramnagar, these stones were taken away by tantra learning. The palaces of Ramnagar are built with these stones. Although science does not accept these things. Many religious stories are also told about this mountain and it is worshiped as a god. But the reality is that each of the rocks here is excellent examples of carving of nature.

Landmarks

As the development Madhya Pradesh tourism has taken the black mountain under its control, but the district administration also has the responsibility to develop this wonderful black mountain in terms of tourism. At the same time, researchers should be encouraged to search on it, so that people can get such information in detail about this unique structure that cropped up millions of years ago so that they understand its reality rather than stories and stories and understand its importance. Let it be seen.
