Harisankar




Sri Sri Harisankar Devasthana is a temple on the slopes of Gandhamardan hills Odisha in India. It is popular for its scenes of nature and connection to two Hindu lord vishnu and lord shiva. As a holy place, along with a stream passing on the granite bed it has given some visitors a feeling of peace. On the opposite of side of the Gandhamardan hills is the temple of Nrusinghanath. The plateau between the two temples has been found to have ancient Buddhist ruins which are considered to be remnants of the ancient Parimalgiri University




The deity of Harisankar was discovered by a Chauhan dynasty king of western Odisha during the 14th century. From that time, the deity has been worshiped. A dancing Ganesha image has been found, which can be traced to the early 12th century. The temple was constructed by the order of then queen Durlabha Devi of Maharaja Vaijjal Dev Chauhan.
