Nrusinghanath Temple

Nrusinghanath Temple, nestled in the scenic Bargarh district of Odisha, India, stands as a testament to architectural brilliance in the Kalinga style. Dedicated to Lord Nrusinghanath, a manifestation of Lord Vishnu, the ancient temple atop Gandhamardan Hills captivates visitors with intricate carvings and sculptures, reflecting the region's rich cultural heritage. Pilgrims flock to seek blessings, particularly during festivals like Shivaratri, while the trek to the temple offers an adventurous journey through the picturesque hills. Adding to the allure is the temple complex's natural spring, Papaharini, believed to possess healing properties, where devotees take a holy dip. Amidst the spiritual ambiance, the surroundings also showcase breathtaking views, and nearby, a beautiful and amazing waterfall further enhances the natural beauty, making the pilgrimage not just a religious experience but also a communion with nature, culminating in a harmonious blend of cultural, spiritual, and natural splendor.

Fantastic place, well maintained. Must visit for adventure lovers, I felt its best to visit during rainy season there is water as well as an enchanting greenary. After a refresh bath and darshan do not miss the annaprasad which is available for ₹50 per head.

It is a nice place situated in the district of Bargarh and is 72km far away from Harishankar temple. You may love this place and the no. of apes are more than that of Harishankar temple. So be careful of monkey.

Around six hundred years ago, a woman Jamuna Kandhuni as referred in the book "Nrusingha Charitra" in Odia languagecomposed a Kavya that sings the glory of Marjara Keshari in regard to suppression and repression of torture and tyranny of Musika Daitya. According to the legend, when people were greatly afflicted by Musika Daitya (the incarnate Mouse Demon), Vishnu Mani in the appearance(Incarnation) of Marjara Keshari, in His Feline Form, ran to eat the demonic mouse form - Musika Daitya who never came out from the tunnel and Marjara Keshari waited from that day. The temple is reputed from that day with this mythological history. This story is symbolic of the grounding the demonic evil power of tyranny and torture that never dared to come out further and Lord Nrusinghnath alias Marjara Keshari has been guarding it since then. According to Huen Tsang, the Chinese traveler, this place was a centre of Buddhist scriptural learning. Lord Nrushinghanath is a much-adored deity of Odisha and a great fair is held in his honour on the 14th day of bright fortnight in the month of Vaisakha. According to Odia and Devnagari inscriptions, the temple was built by Baijal Dev in the early 15th century AD. The temple is a masterpiece of Kalinga Architecture of Deula style prevalent in the Odisha region of India.
