When we talk about history of Jabalpur city, we will be informed that its old name was Tripuri kingdom. Actually Jabalpur was developed in 3 main phases whose marks are now left in the form of old temples, statues only. In first phase it was Tripuri town in 10th century. This township was close to Bhedaghat. It was rule of Kalchuri rulers and Chousat Yogini temple was of same period. It is a sacred village with many temples. As we know that whole Narmada river is considered as most sacred river of India and that it is the only river whose parikrama (encircle visit) is offered by devotees in which they walk or use vehicle to do encircle tour of Narmada river, without crossing the river at any point. This whold event is popularly called Narmada Parikrama Yatra. It is a very unique way to worship the river and establish the great respect of this river in Hindu religion.
