Tourist Places In Rayagada
LaxmiNarayana,Rayagada,Odisha

LaxmiNarayana :
The road was surprisingly good and the view was awesome with verdant farmlands hemmed in by hills all around. A corporate house, Indian Metals and Ferro Alloys Limited (IMFA) have built a beautiful temple complex within their campus.

The architecture is classically Odishi but instead of limestone, the structures are made of concrete. The main shrine is devoted to the deities Lakshmi and Narayan and hence is known as the Laxminarayan Temple. In addition to idols of these deities, there are idols of Jagannath, Balabhadra, Subhadra and Hanuman inside this temple.

Maa Majhigharani :
The presiding diety of Rayagada, Maa Majhghariani, is known as Majji Gowri in A.P. Originally a tribal diety, she is considered to be an incarnation of Goddess Durga. In the 4th century AD, when the Emperor Samudragupta invaded this area,
the local ruler was able to successfully defend his kingdom with the blessings of this Goddess. In the 14th century, a temple was built at the exact centre of a fort (Majhi Ghariani literally means occupant of the central house) and that is how she acquired this name.
