BILAI MATA MANDIR is popular among locals as well as tourists being a prominent structure of religious importance . People of Dhamtari worship Goddess Durga in several forms such as Bilai Mata and Vindhyavasini .
It is said that Vindhyavasini Devi Maa is sister of Lord Krishna
Old Tales states that once upon a time there was a King NarharDev, came here for hunting as this place was once thick dense forest area . One day when they were passing by this area the entire troop just got stopped by some supernatural force . the king ordered his soldiers to search the place .Upon exploring the place they found a structure surrounded by wild cats .when the king saw this he ordered his fellows to take the structure and place it in the Capital . The same night the Goddess came in the dream of the king and ordered him not to take her from the place she doesn't want to go anywhere.
The Priest in this temple is from the same family who started worshipping this place years before.
