Durga temple

💫 About temple This Temple is located on the Mahanadi River, in Sasanga village in the tehsil Baramba, (formerly Athgarh), Cuttack district, India. It is dedicated to the Hindu Goddess Maa Bhattarika worshipped as a manifestation of Shakti. As per the Puranic tradition, Parashurama, facing certain defeat at the hands of Saharasjuna, prayed to Durga who appeared on this spot to impart her divine power to his aid. The festival Pana Sankranti is celebrated here in April, Akshaya Tritiya in May and Dussehra in October. Durga Puja is celebrated here yearly with great rejoicing. 💫 Timings 6am to 8pm 💫 Best time to visit August to February 💫 Getting there Just 95 km from Bhubaneswar, Bhattarika is located in the Athgarh sub division. 💫 Reaching Bhattarika Temple. From Gania travel upto Rajkiari Junction. From here straight road will take you to Kantilo and right side road will cross the river Mahanadi via Sidhamula bridge . 💫 Transport Private cab service is the best option. Packaged tours can also be arranged by the Government of Odisha tourist office . 💫 Accommodation Orissa tourism development corporation ( OTDC ) panthanivas is available near the temple. This is the only accommodation available near the temple. Usually devotes visit temple during day time and return in evening. Because of its beautiful location by the side of river Mahanadi this is a famous picnic spot for schools and colleges during winter season. This is not a safe place for boating or swimming and there are many incidents of drowning here . 💫 My opinion I believe that if someone does not get peace of mind, then after a few months, he should definitely visit some good temples. I also went to visit this temple. With my family and I was very happy here in the temple courtyard so I would like to suggest you that you also visit this temple and enjoy the nice atmosphere here. Thanks 🙏
