About the temple

Biraja Temple in Jajpur, Odisha is one of India's 18 Shakti Peethas, believed to be where Goddess Sati's navel fell. The 11th-century shrine houses a distinctive two-armed idol of Durga as Biraja, depicted vanquishing Mahishasura. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
