Ram temples can be found all over the country, but the only very old temple dedicated to his mother Kaushalya is in Chandkhuri, Chhattisgarh. Under the Ram Van Gaman Tourism Circuit Scheme, it was recently beautified while retaining its pristine grandeur. The village of Chandkhuri, also known as Chandrapuri after the Chandravanshi kings, is located 27 kilometres from Raipur, the state capital of Chhattisgarh. A wonderfully beautiful statue of Mata Kaushalya with Lord Rama in her lap is established in this ancient temple of Mata Kaushalya in this village Chandkhuri with 126 ponds.

Chhattisgarh is also regarded as Lord Shri Ram's maternal grandmother. The Ramayana mentions Kausalya Mata's birthplace in the country of Kosala. North and South Kosala were separated. South Kosal is Chhattisgarh. Lord Shri Ram is worshipped as a nephew by Maryada Purushottam.

From an archaeological standpoint, the remains of this temple indicate that it dates from the Somvanshi period, which lasted from the 8th to the 9th century AD. The contemporary ancient Shiva temple is located a short distance ahead of the Jalsen pond. The stone ruins of the Shiva temple attest to its antiquity. This Mata Kaushalya temple is located in the middle of Jalsen pond, which can be reached via a bridge. The idol of Lord Shri Ram in the form of a child in the lap of Vatsalyam in the temple's sanctum sanctorum. Mata Kaushalya draws devotees and devotees' attention.
As a marriage gift, King Bhanumanta is said to have given ten thousand villages to his daughter Kaushalya. It also included Chandrapuri, his birthplace. According to legend, Mata Kaushalya appeared in a dream to the king and informed him that he was present at this location. Following this, when the king excavated at that location, the idol was discovered. Later, the king erected a temple and installed the idol. In 1973, the temple was renovated.
On the occasion of Deepawali, a grand festival is also held in Chandkhuri every year. Diyas are blazing. People rejoice at Lord Rama's victory and return to Ayodhya. Recently, a 51-foot-tall statue of Lord Rama was erected on the temple grounds.

In the temple grounds, there is a Sitaphal tree with the name of the slip written on it and tied to the fruit. It is believed that by doing so, the wished-for wish will be granted. People also say that where there is a tree, there used to be a large bambi of Nagraj, and only Nagraj can grant his wishes.
Near the Kaushalya temple is also the tomb of Vaidyaraj Sushen. Sushen Vaidya is said to have come from Lanka with Lord Rama after Ravana's defeat and died here in Chandkhuri.
