Ghanteswari Temple

This is a must visit place in western part of Odisha. The road and the drive from Sambalpur is enjoyable.

The unique experience of the template and dam is surreal.

This is one of the best places you can visit if you're in sambalpur. The temple is full of calmness. The goddess is called ghanteswari( the goddess of bells). According to popular beliefs if you offers bells to the goddess as prayer then whatever your wish will come true. The road to this place is so beautiful, you'll have to travel inside the forest area. There is a hydro power project nearby which is also a great place to spend some time. You can see the view of the majestic Mahanadi river from here.

Nice place to visit. You will find curvy greenery road to this place. The view of nature from the dam area is awesome.

Recently we visited here and the place was awesome..Popular temple of western odisha. Temple is near the river (Mahanadi).People offer bell to Maa Ghanteswari after their the fulfillment of their wishes.It gives positive vibes.

Very beautiful temple situated on the bank of Mahanadi River. Mesmerizing scenery, Don't forget to visit the Chimpli Powerplant from the temple. There is scenic route between the temple and the powerplant.

The place have it's own charm .Being from the same localities I have a heart to heart connection to this place from childhood. view from the power plant towards the river side is really beautiful in winters as if you are watching to a beautiful landscape .
The temple is known for maa ghanteswari and is full of small ghanta (bells).Each bell have its own story relating to an individual.They say if u have to wish for something you can tie a bell with a pure and good heart and wish for it and that will be fulfilled by maa ghanteswari.

Really nice and charming place with bells ringing everywhere around the temple.
But the path is not easy as it looks. You have to pass through a narrow foot bridge with water reservoir on one side and around 150 feet deep pit on the other (figure attached).
That is nothing but hydro electric project of chipilima.
So the journey is adventurous as well as challenging.

This Place will always have a special place in my Heart.
Awesome place, too religious, and very Beautiful.
The devotion with which people have hung their Bells for the Goddess to listen to their Prayers, is Breadth Taking.

Overall, Lovely Place
