Reviewed By sumanratha - Cuttack, India
The temple is situated on a hilltop and there are steps to reach there. We visit the place every Shivratri day and one has to stand in a queue due to the high number of pilgrims. Soothing atmosphere heals you and makes you forget all sorts of worries. Definitely visit the place if you're in Sambalpur.
6. Ghanteswari Temple

The temple of Goddess Ghanteswri is on the bank of river Mahanadi. A nice picnic spot with panoramic views. The walk through narrow passage across the power channel flooded with water is indeed very thrilling experience.
