Mantridi, Ganjam district, Odisha · 19.1870°, 84.7692°
A Shakta temple near Berhampur built in 1937 around a roughly carved one-legged, four-armed image of Bhairavi turned up by a plough in a nearby field. Its precinct holds 108 subsidiary shrines, including the twelve jyotirlingas, Vaishno Devi, the Dashavatara and Jagannath with his siblings.
What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.
Devotees hold that Bhairavi will ride out with the Kalki avatar at the close of the Kali Yuga to restore dharma.
