Mahuri
Kalua
TempleΒ is
one
of
the
significant
visiting
cum
cookout
spots
of
the
Southern
piece
of
Odisha.
It
is
arranged
close
to
Berhampur
of
Ganjam
Dist.
The
spot
is
named
after
the
Goddess
Mahuri
Kalua,
the
superb
god
of
King
of
Mahuri.
Presence
of
Dense
timberland
and
Hills
makes
the
spot
more
fascinating
for
guests.
There
is
an
intriguing
story
is
related
with
this
spot.
The
Goddess
was
set
up
inside
a
Cave
arranged
at
the
Hill
Top
where
no
one
can
reach
with
the
exception
of
the
King
and
his
Family.
As
accepted
by
the
neighborhood
individuals,
the
King
of
Mahuri
was
given
an
extraordinary
sword
by
the
Goddess
that
shielded
him
from
each
threat.
However,
one
day
the
King
lost
the
sword
and
was
crushed
by
the
Britishers.
Whatβs
more,
after
wards,
the
Goddess
was
loved
by
a
Sabara
on
solicitation
of
the
King.
The
Sabara
set
up
the
divinity
at
the
foot
of
the
Hill,
where
everybody
can
get
to.
Presently
with
the
assistance
of
Tourism
Dept.
of
Odisha,
steps
have
been
assembled
with
the
goal
that
vacationers
can
get
to
the
cavern
where
the
Goddess
was
before
set
up.
The
Temple
is
surrounded
by
Green
Hills
and
Dense
Forest.
One
can
experience
the
musical
orchestra
of
birds.
The
pollution-free
atmosphere
attracts
many
visitors
and
picnic
lovers.
A
small
rest
house
is
there
for
visitors.
Now
with
the
help
of
the
Tourism
Dept.
of
Odisha,
steps
have
been
built
so
that
tourists
can
access
the
cave
where
the
Goddess
was
earlier
established.
