Hirapur
Yogini
temple
is
considered
to
be
the
most
famous
among
the
Yogini
temples
of
Odisha
&
Madhya
Pradesh.
There
are
just
54
statues
in
the
circuler
fashioned
open
air
temple
which
doesn't
have
a
roof
like
the
usual
Kalinga
style
of
architecture
seen
across
the
state.
In
the
center
is
a
Chandi
Mandapa
that
has
the
remaining
8
Goddesses
on
all
4
sides,
thus
Hirapur
Chausath
Yogini
temple
has
only
statues
of
62
Yoginis
instead
of
64.
The
locals
doesn't
talk
much
about
the
Tantric
Secrets
of
the
place.
The
fear
of
Yoginis
goes
back
all
the
way
to
ancient
times.
The
Brahmanda
Purans,
one
of
the
18
major
Puranas
details
facts
about
cult
of
Tantra
Sadhana,
it
states
that
anyone
who
reveals
the
secrets
of
the
Purana
will
be
cursed
by
the
Yoginis.
Some
researchers
have
written
about
the
temples
&
have
mentioned
that
whosoever
reveals
the
secrets
becomes
the
food
for
the
Yoginis.
