Mausi Maa Temple, Hindu temple on Grand Road, Puri district, India.

Mausi Maa Temple is a small shrine on the left side of Bada Danda near Balagandi, midway along Puri's Grand Road. Its white facade has a central arched doorway leading to dark stairs, hung with a red banner reading "ମା ମାଉସୀ ମା" and "MAUSINA TEMPLE". Two large lion-like sculptures painted white, orange and yellow, with red tongues, sit on green bases flanking the arch.

The temple's origin is traced to the Vaishnava Kanda of the Skanda Purana, which records that Goddess Ardhashosini drank half the sea water that flooded Puri and so saved the abode of Shri Jagannath. The same text names her, with Kapalamochana Shiva, as a guardian of the Shree Kshetra. The Odia account adds that the Hathi Gadhua river once ran past this spot, then called Balabattara Gandi and now known as Balagandi.

The goddess here is Ardhashosini, also called Ardhashini, and her image is carved from black stone (krishnapathara). It is two-armed, flanked by the attendant goddesses Chhaya and Maya, and a mask of Subhadra covers the upper part of the figure. Ardhashosini and Kapalamochana Shiva are held to guard the Shree Kshetra.

The temple sits on the left side of Bada Danda near Balagandi, on the way to the Jagannath Temple. During the Bahuda Yatra, the return leg of Ratha Yatra, Jagannath's chariot halts here so the deity can be offered Poda Pitha, a baked cake of lentils and rice. At other times it is a small shrine with few visitors.

The two lion-like figures flanking the entrance are painted white, orange and yellow, with red tongues and green bases. The red banner above the arch reads "ମା ମାଉସୀ ମା" and "MAUSINA TEMPLE", while a white panel below carries the Odia line "ଶ୍ରୀ ଜଗନ୍ନାଥଙ୍କ ମାଉସୀ ଘର", naming the shrine as Jagannath's aunt's house.
