Katak Chandi Temple
The Katak Chandi Temple, also known as the Cuttack Chandi Temple, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Chandi, located near the banks of the Mahanadi River in Cuttack, Odisha. The temple is one of the prominent Shakti Peethas in the region and attracts a large number of devotees, especially during the Durga Puja festival.
According to legend, the temple was built after the goddess Chandi appeared in the dream of a local priest, instructing him to excavate the land where the temple now stands.
During the excavation, a large amount of red sindoor (vermilion) was discovered, and the idol of the goddess emerged. The temple has been a center of worship ever since, with daily rituals performed by priests from the Brahmin community.
The temple's architecture follows traditional Kalinga style, and the main deity, Goddess Chandi, is depicted with four hands holding various symbolic items. The temple is surrounded by a serene environment, making it a peaceful place for devotees to offer their prayers.
