History & significance
A sandstone pidha deul at Kancha Sahi in the Old Town of Bhubaneswar, enshrining a four-armed goddess worshipped locally as Kali. Its dry-masonry construction places it in the 10th or 11th century, earlier than the local attribution to the Somavamsi kings, and it remains in private hands and active worship.
