In Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, Dainik Bhaskar created history by delivering Prasad of Siddha Shaktipeeth of Maa Mahamaya located in Ratanpur along with its copy to the homes of about 40 thousand readers. This unique initiative was taken by Dainik Bhaskar and Shri Mahamaya Devi Mandir Trust to commemorate the completion of 30 years of establishment of Dainik Bhaskar Bilaspur Edition Chhattisgarh. The temple of Maa Mahamaya Mata located in Ratanpur was built during the reign of Ratnadev I, since then till today this holy Shaktipeeth has been the centre of faith not only in Bilaspur but in the entire country. Devotees from all over the country come here to take the darshan of Shri Mahamaya Devi and pray for the fulfilment of their wishes.

Dainik Bhaskar Bilaspur and Shri Mahamaya Devi Mandir Trust, respecting this faith of the devotees and taking care of its purity and sanctity from packing to distribution of Prasad, distributed Siddha Shaktipeeth to 40 thousand houses on the special occasion of the foundation day of Dainik Bhaskar Bilaspur.
