Bedaghat
The Small village of Jabalpur tehsil situated on the bank of river Narmada and
widely famous for its marble Rocks is at a distance about 21 Km from Jabalpur by
road. Soaring in glittering splendour, the Marble Rocks at Bhedaghat rise to
a hundred feet on either side of the Narmada. The serene loveliness of the scene
is one of cool quiet, the sunlight sparkling on the marble-white pinnacles and casting
dappled shadows on the pellucid waters. Sunlight, now glancing from a pinnacle of
snow-white marble reared against the deep blue of the sky as from a point of silver ;
touching here and there with bright lights the prominences of the middle heights; and
again losing itself in the soft bluish grays of their recesses
.. Here and there the
white saccharine limestone is seamed by veins of dark green or black volcanic rock; a
contrast which only enhances, like a setting of jet, the purity of the surrounding
marble." |
