Mahavinayak Temple, Hindu temple in Chandikhole, India
The Mahavinayak Temple stands on a hill within the Mahavinayak Reserved Forest, featuring a perennial spring flowing alongside its structure.
The temple construction dates back to the 12th century under the direction of the Keshari Dynasty rulers of Odisha.
Five deities - Shiva, Vishnu, Durga, Surya, and Ganesha - receive worship together in a single sanctum, marking a rare configuration in Hindu temples.
The temple complex includes accommodations with three air-conditioned suites and remains open daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM for visitors.
A forest path connects the temple to the nearby Chandi shrine, allowing visitors to trek through densely wooded hills.
