The
Leaning
Temple
of
Huma
in
India
is
one
of
only
two
leaning
temples
in
the
world.
It
is
located
in
Huma,
a
village
situated
on
the
bank
of
the
Mahanadi,
23
km
south
of
Sambalpur
in
the
Indian
state
of
Odisha.
The
temple
is
dedicated
to
the
Hindu
god
Lord
Bimaleshwar.
The
Bhairavi
Devi
temple
is
situated
to
the
left
of
the
main
temple,
and
the
Bhairo
temple
is
situated
to
the
right
of
the
main
temple.
According
to
historical
records,
Ganga
Vamsi
Emperor
Anangabhima
Deva-III
built
this
temple.
The
temple
was
rebuilt
or
renovated
by
King
Baliar
Singh
(1660–1690
A.D.),
the
fifth
Chauhan
king
of
Sambalpur.
The
rest
of
the
temples
were
built
during
the
rule
of
King
Ajit
Singh
(1766–1788
A.D.)
of
Sambalpur.
The
worship
of
Siva
is
said
to
have
been
initiated
by
a
milkman(Gauda),
who
daily
crossed
the
Mahanadi
to
a
place
on
the
bank
where
the
underlying
rock
croped
out.
Here
he
daily
offered
his
dole
of
milk,
which
was
at
once
drunk
up
by
the
rock,
and
this
miraculous
circumstance
led
to
enquiries,
which
ended
in
the
construction
of
the
present
temple.
Huma
is
a
place
of
pilgrimage,
and
is
also
visited
by
strangers
out
of
curosity
to
see
the
different
kind
of
fish
in
the
river.
A
great
fair
takes
place
at
the
foothill
in
March
every
year
on
the
occasion
of
Sivratri.
The
presiding
diety
is
Bimaleswar
Siva.
The
special
type
of
fish
found
here
are
called
as
Kudo
fish.
They
are
said
to
be
so
tame
that
they
will
eat
sweets
and
other
foods
from
the
hands
of
those
who
bathe
close
to
the
temple.
During
auspicious
days
they
are
called
by
their
names
and
given
the
prasad
of
the
God.
Here
nobody
tries
to
catch
them
as
they
are
believed
to
be
the
assets
of
the
God.
Now
about
the
main
point
of
attraction
i.e.
the
tilted
structure
of
temple.
From
the
investigation,
nobody
able
to
give
satisfying
reply.
The
surprising
thing
is,
the
main
temple
tilted
to
one
direction
and
other
small
temples
tilted
to
some
other
direction.
And
within
the
temple
complex
i.e.
within
the
boundaries
of
temple,
everything
found
to
be
in
tilted
condition
including
the
boundaries.
Now
again
the
angle
of
inclination
is
not
changed
since
last
40/50
years
as
said
by
the
villagers
and
priests.
However
the
structure
is
tilted
may
be
due
to
some
geological
reason,
may
be
the
earth
crust
is
un-even
in
structure.
