Temples in Jajpur

Temples in Jajpur, Odisha

The city of Jajpur, which is sometimes called the "Spiritual Capital of Odisha", is rich in religious significance, historical splendour, and old customs. Because of its connection to Shaiva-Shakta worship, Tantric customs, and Shakti Peethas, it has a particular position in Hinduism. Jajpur is more than simply a place for pilgrims; it's a place where myths, rituals, and holy energy come to life as you travel through India's hallowed landscape.

The Biraja Temple, which is devoted to the Goddess Biraja, is the focal point of Jajpur's spiritual environment. The navel of Goddess Sati is said to have fallen from this temple, one of the 51 Shakti Peethas. The architecture of the temple, with its intricate carvings and ceremonies, embodies the spirit of Odishan temple tradition, and the deity is praised here as Viraja Devi.
