- The Teeja Devi Temple was constructed in the 19th century in the old city quarter of Raipur to honor the local folk goddess Teeja Devi.

It has undergone basic renovations in recent decades to maintain its traditional structural integrity.
Significance
- The temple is dedicated to Teeja Devi, a regional manifestation of Goddess Parvati who is highly celebrated during the Teej festival when women observe fasts for the well-being of their families.

It highlights the deep integration of agrarian seasons with feminine spiritual devotion in Central India.
