Why devotees come here

The temple is a symbol of the lasting faith and cultural inheritance of this part of Koraput. Local mythology says a king was moved by a divine vision of Rama and built the temple to honour him. The Puranas place this region in Dandakaranya, a forest that legend says was Rama's refuge during his exile.

The temple has stood in the ancient kingdom of Odisha for many centuries. Its imposing facade is decorated with intricate carvings and sculpted pillars. The motifs narrate the epic history of the Ramayana.

The temple sits among green scenery and rolling hills. Koraput town is surrounded by mountains, thick forests and waterfalls, and it has many old temples. The best months to visit are October to February, when the weather is milder and more pleasant to spend time outdoors.
