Introduction & Attraction |
Situated
at a distance of 19 kms from
Digapahandi and 45 kms from Berhampur, near Ghodahada Dam. One
would aptly cherish for visiting a monument with rare and quaint features.
The shrine of Ujjaleswar has been developed from a cave temple, on a
hillock which is approachable by steps. A huge stone shadowing the deity
forms the back side of the temple, which has been also chiseled to steps
for facilitating a circumambulating around the shrine. Before reaching the
unctuous site, one would come across the pleasing surrounding of Ghodahada
Dam, which has submerged a fort named Vijayanagar and its temple. The
reservoir provides silence to a heard of
elephants, crocodiles and pythons and sub-soil water for
Horticulture farm of tube rose. However rollicking monkeys, deer park, a
pond with lotus flowers, an age old Banyan tree testing one’s unfeigned
devotion and unfurled natural back drop verdant the sanctity of Ujjeleswar.
One can drive carefully a bike or a jeep up to the temple. In case of bus
ride, visitors may have to walk ¾ kms.
