Barkagarh (Ani Nath Shahdeo)
History & significance
A smaller Kalinga-style echo of the Puri temple raised on a hillock about 10 km outside Ranchi and completed on 25 December 1691 by Ani Nath Shahdeo of Barkagarh Jagannathpur. Damaged during Aurangzeb's reign in the same year, it collapsed in August 1990 and was rebuilt by February 1992; its Rath Yatra draws large tribal and non-tribal crowds.
