Toti Jharna temple at Ramgarh, Jharkhand |
Tuti Jharna is a very old Shiva temple in the district of Ramgarh in Jharkhand, India. Though it is not as famous as Chhinnamastika Temple it will get popularity very soon. Development of the temple is being taken up by the government. A unique feature of this temple is that a stream of water continuously flows down over a Shivalinga throughout the year. The temple is situated on a slope in the Bharech Nagar area of the Ramgarh town.

After flowing over the Shivalinga the water gets out through the outlet in the adjacent wall. This water accumulates in a hilly Nala beside the temple which has a check dam. Thus it serves as a pond which is desirable near a temple. People either take a bath in it or take water (Jalam) to offer to Shiva.
