Biraja Temple
The Biraja Temple, also known as Birija Kshetra, is a historic Hindu temple located in Jajpur, Odisha. The temple is dedicated to Devi Durga, worshipped here as Viraja. The present structure was built during the 13th century, although the site has been a pilgrimage destination since ancient times.
The temple is renowned for its unique depiction of the goddess, with the idol showing two hands—one spearing the chest of Mahishasura and the other pulling his tail.
The temple is also one of the Shakti Peeths, where it is believed that the navel (Nabhi Gaya) of Mata Sati fell. This makes it a significant site for rituals like Shradh and Pind Daan.
