History & significance

A Shakta shrine near the Atharanala bridge in Puri, dated on structural grounds to the later 16th century, with a natamandapa added in the 20th. It is counted among the Ashtashaktis that guard the sacred precinct of Srikshetra, and the logs cut for the Nabakalebara rite are first set down before it.
