Chandrabhaga
Beach is
situated
three km
east
of
the
Sun
temple
of Konark,
in
the Puri
district in
the
state
of Odisha,
India. It
is
30 km
from
the
city
of Puri.
Formerly
Chandrabhaga
was
considered
a
place
of
natural
cure
for
lepers.

India's
first
to

Chandrabhaga
coral
reef,
is
one
of
the
prominent living
corals
reef
of
India offshore
from
Chandrabhaga
beach.
It
is
believed
that
Samba
(Krishna's
son)
after
curing
leprosy
worshiped
the
Sun
God
on
the
river
mouth
of
Chandrabhaga,
the
river
dried
up.
It
is
reduced
to
a
dry
bed
or
a
narrow
trickle.
It
has
been[when?] an
ideal
place
for
religious
activity.
According
to
another
ancient
narrative
reference,
Chandrabhag,
the
daughter
of
a
sage,
caught
the
attraction
of
the Sun
God by
her
magical
charm.
The
God
came
down
to
seek
her
hand
in
love.
Chandrabhaga
did
not
offer
herself
to
the
God.
Maddened
by
romantic
pangs,
the
God
chased
after
a
frightened
Chandrabhaga,
who
jumped
into
the
river
and
killed
herself,
thus
succeeding
in
protecting
her
chastity.
As
a
mark
of
tribute
to
her
sacrifice,
every
year
on
the
7th
day
of
the
full-moon
fortnight
of
Magha
month,
people
from
all
over
the
state
and
outside
gather
to
take
a
holy
dip
in
the
river
that
is
reduced
to
a
shallow
pool,
to
offer
their
prayers
to
the
Sun
God
and
to
enjoy
the
sunrise.
Chandrabhaga's
sacrifice
might
have
been
forgotten,
but
the
place
which
bears
her
name
is
remembered
as
a
holy
shrine
and
as
the
place
of
the
Rising
Sun.
It
continues
to
inspire
religious
and
meditative
activities.
It
has
been
a
big
hunting-ground
for
poets,
artists
and
lovers.
A
moment's
pause
at
Chandrabhaga
is
believed[by
whom?] to
be
a
great
fatigue-healer.
Numerous
visitors
to
Konark
make
Chandrabhaga
a
positive[clarification
needed] stop.
A

Chandrabhaga
