It houses the revered shrines of Rao Baba (Raja Rao), after whom the hills got their name., The Gods Domma Manjhi ,Usse Mudya ,Jharan Manjhi ,Budha Deo and other dieties are still believed to dwell there protecting the people.The People believe that these Gods are the guardians of Bastar and specially the Raoghat...People gather here periodically throughout the year to show their devotion.
