Tutla Bhavani Temple
Tutrahi is in a hill valley about 8 km south-west of Tilothu. This is the most picturesque place in Rohtas district. Here, between two high hills on the north-west and south-east sides, a valley of about 1 mile long and full of greenery, with a waterfall in front and the water of the Kachuar River flowing gurgling through the valley, presents a wonderful sight. While this valley is about 300 meters wide in the east, it narrows to only 50 meters towards the west, where at the end (west) the waterfall falls from a height of about 180 feet. Inside the falls, there is a platform at a slight height on its right (south) side. To reach here, there is a staircase from the south side. There is a statue of Mother Jagaddhatri Mahishmardini Durga on the platform. Almost adjacent to this statue, to the south, on the rock, the inscription divided into three parts at the top and bottom is of Nayak Pratap Dhawal Dev, which was written on 1 April 1158 AD, Saturday (V. No. 1214). A small temple (of Tutla Bhavani) has been built here. In recent times, this site has been developed as an eco-tourism site by the Forest Department. All tourist facilities including roads, swing pool, and e-rickshaws are available here.

The idol of the mother was established in the 12th century
Regarding the history of Tutla Bhavani, it is said that the idol of Maa Tutla Bhavani was established in the 12th century by King Devpratap Dhawal. Two inscriptions can still be seen at the temple of Mata Rani, located in the valleys of the beautiful Kaimur hills, 25 km from the district headquarters and just five km west of Tilauthu block. The first inscription of the 8th century is in Sharada script, which is unread. It has not been translated yet. At the same time, the second inscription installed at Maa Tutla Bhavani Dham of the 12th century was installed at Maa Tutla Bhavani Dham by King Veerpratap Dhawal Dev of Kharwars, when the idol of Maa Tutla Bhavani was established by King Veer Pratap Dhawal himself and his family.
what is written in the inscription
It is mentioned in the stone inscription that the idol of Maa Tutla Bhavani was installed in the 12th century on 19th April 1158 AD, 1254 Samvat Saturday by Kharwar king Veer Pratap Dhawal Dev and his entire family including his wife Sulhi Devi, brother Tribhuvan Dhawal Dev, son Vikram Dhawal Dev, Sahas Dhawal Dev and their five daughters. An idol had been installed in the past as well, which is broken.
How is the statue of the mother
The idol of the mother is a beautiful example of Garhwal period sculpture. In the idol of the mother, a demon is coming out from the neck of a buffalo, and the eight-armed mother Tutla Bhavani is catching him and killing him with a trident. The idol of the mother is eight-armed.
The waterfall falls from the top of Kaimur Hill
Just above Maa Tutla Bhavani Dham, a waterfall falls from the top of Kaimur hill, which flows into the pond below. It is called the Kachuar River, which flows from the top of Kaimur hill. The water of this waterfall is also called Satkundwa water because there are seven ponds on the hill just above the temple of Mata Rani. Through these seven ponds, this waterfall flows into the pond below Maa Tutla Bhavani Dham. Coming down, it is famous as Tutarahi River, which flows till Tilauthu and merges with the Son River.
People who come here with wrong thoughts have to face the wrath of the Goddess
It is believed here that whoever comes to Mata Bhavani Dham with wrong thoughts or dirty intentions, has to face the wrath of Bhramari Devi i.e. Bhanvra Devi. Many such incidents have happened in the temple of Maa Tutla Bhavani located in Tilauthu. When someone has come here with dirty thoughts, he has had to face the wrath of the stings of the bumble bees.
