Rajrappa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rajrappa is a project under Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited. It is one of the biggest coal-fields in its region. It is widely known as the Rajrappa Project, which consist of the main quarry (a huge open cast mine), offices, colonies, recreation facilities, shopping complexes, a police out-post and public utility buildings. It is a complete township in itself.
Not everybody can reside there; only for the employees of CCL. That has helped it to retain its charm and beauty. It is a tourist place and is famous for the 'Chinnamasta Temple' (a 'roop' of Goddess Kaali) which is situated on the bank of the confluence of rivers Bhairavi and Damodar. The temple itself is nestled amidst dense plantation 8 kilometres away from the Colony. The place gets its name from the temple which is known as 'Rajrappa Mandir'.
