- Narmada Udgam Temple: Amarkantak, a small village is situated in mountain range of Vindhya and Satpura hills from where the river Narmada originates from the hill which is shaped like mouth of a cow.

Narmada Udgam Kund (birth place of Narmada) was built by Rewa Nayak (his idol gives the clue). After so many years, Bhonsle, the king of Nagpur gave the shape to Narmada Mandir, later Maharani Devi Ahilya renovated this temple. A mega complex of temples with idols of gods and goddesses is built around the temple.Idol of a elephant and a horse is placed here on which ,statues of Lakhan and Uddal are placed which are supposed to be damaged during the Aurangzeb period.

According to the folk tale prevalent among the villagers, Narmada used to play at this place with her friend, a beautiful girl named Gulbakavali, a 12 year girl, at her tender age. Hence the name Narmadamai. ‘Gulbakavali is actually’ impersonation of a plant.
- Sonmudha: 2Km distance from Narmada Temple in South Direction. Sonmudha is the birth place of Narmada tributary Sonbhadra, where two ponds (kund ) named Sona (son of god Brahma), and Bhadra join together to form Sonbhadra, and flows from here.
