Chausathi Jogini Temple

Reviewed By debashis77_12 - Dehradun, India

I have seen chausathi (64) yogini temple one at Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh and this is another one. But astonishingly the structure of both these temples are quite similar. This temple is in Hirapur village some 20 kms from Bhubaneswar towards Puri. But if you go by Tankapani Road through Sai Temple, after crossing the daya river bridge this village is there. The temple is also in outskirt of the village.It is not a favorite place for tourists, so you can admire its beauty peacefully. Only one goddess is worshiped here, though there are 63 remaining there. Indeed a small but beautiful place.

Brahmeshwara Temple

Reviewed By indianilan

You must be stunned when u visit this temple. In South India, especially in Tamil Nadu, we pray the almighty in the form of statue. But here, Shiva lingams and Snake structured Deities are present everywhere. The architecture and Gardening are the huge attraction of this temple. Don't Miss It. Otherwise u r the looser. 2 Hours and Evening are Best.

A part of the golden triangle of buddhist heritage in Odisha alongwith Lalitgiri and Udaygiri. Ratnagiri is a 2-3 hours drive from Bhubaneswar and is a place soaked in history which makes it an amazing place to visit if you are looking for a peaceful and fun time with your friends and family while being in the lap of nature.
